by Maximilian "Max" Beilhack (1835 - 1885)

Letzter Trost
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Chosen for Diff
Meine Mutter war verschieden, 
Und ich selbst der Liebe bar. 
Ruhelos und ohne Frieden 
Wandert' ich so manches Jahr. 

Bald versengten Sonnengluten, 
Bald erstarrte mich der Nord; 
Und die alten Wunden bluten, 
Jede Hoffnung über Bord! 

Heimgekehrt am Pilgerstabe 
Fand ich erst ein leitend Licht:  
Auf der lieben Mutter Grabe 
Blühte ein Vergißmeinnicht.

Confirmed with Max Beilhack, Gedichte, Cannstatt: Louis Bosheuyer, 1857, page 48. Appears in Marie.
