by Friedrich Wilhelm Gotter (1746 - 1797)

Auch die Sprödeste der Schönen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT ENG FRE
  Auch die Sprödeste der Schönen
Wird erweicht durch langen Schmerz,
Und der Liebe Freuden krönen
Endlich ein getreues Herz.
 
  Ach, wie süß sind alle Sorgen,
Jede Mühe wie so leicht,
Wenn man hoffet, morgen, morgen
Wird vielleicht ihr Stolz erweicht!
 
  Nichts verschont auf seinen Wegen
Der Gewitterstrom im Hain;
Tröpfelnd dringt ein Frühlingsregen
Nach und nach in Felsen ein.
