by Johann Karl August Rese (1783 - 1847)

Genesung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es zieht ein Geist der [Stille]1
So durch mein Leben hin;  
Die Brust ist mir genesen, 
Mir ist so klar zu Sinn!  

Wohl eilten meine Wünsche  
Hinaus mit kühnem Flug  --  
Sind ruhing heimgekehret;   
Ich bin mir selbst genug.  

Der kühnen Ehrsucht Ringen, 
Getäuschter Liebe Schmerz,    
Der Harm entflohner Freuden 
Kommt nicht in dieses Herz.  

Nur was mit goldner Spindel 
Die hohe Muse webt, 
Kann diesen Busen heben, 
Den tiefer Fried' umschwebt.
