by Ida Marie Luise Sophie Friederike Gustava Hahn-Hahn (1805 - 1880)

Es steht in der Bibel geschrieben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es steht in der Bibel geschrieben 
Ein ernstes, gewichtiges Wort: 
Den bittersten Feind sollst du lieben, 
Dies heischt des Gesetzes Spruch dort.

Ich bin bis zum Tode betrübet
Und hing dem Gebot treu doch an --
Er, den ich am meisten geliebet, 
Er hat mir am weh'sten gethan.
