by Johann Georg Fischer (1816 - 1897)

Eure Weisheit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Ich sah am liebsten hoch im Turm
weit nach den blauen Landen,
bin jauchzend bei dem lauten Sturm
des Glockenschwungs gestanden;
ich kam hernieder, doch empor
schlägt noch mein Herz nach Jahren.
So blieb ich immer euch ein Tor,
die niemals droben waren.
