by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

So hab ich endlich von dir erharrt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Schenke (schläfrig):
 So hab ich endlich von dir erharrt
 In allen Elementen Gottes Gegenwart,
 Wie du mir das so lieblich gibst!
 Am lieblichsten aber, daß du liebst.

Hatem:
 Der schläft recht süß und hat ein Recht, zu schlafen,
 Du guter Knabe, hast mir eingeschenkt,
 Vom Freund und Lehrer, ohne Zwang und Strafen,
 So jung vernommen, wie der Alte denkt.
 Nun aber kommt Gesundheit holder Fülle
 Dir in die Glieder, daß du dich erneust.
 Ich trinke noch, bin aber stille, stille,
 Damit du mich, erwachend nicht, erfreust.
