Ruhe, schönstes Glück der Erde Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ruhe, schönstes Glück der Erde, Senke segnend dich herab, Daß es stille in uns werde, Wie in Blumen ruht ein Grab. Laß des Herzens Stürme schweigen, Eitle Träume wiege ein; Wie sie wachsen, wie sie steigen, Wächst und steigt der Seele Pein. Deinen Frieden gieb der Erde, Deinen Balsam geuß herab, Daß geheilt die Seele werde, Sich erhebend aus dem Grab!
