by Bernhard Ferdinand Julius Endrulat (1828 - 1886)

Sitzest du, dem Glück im Schooß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sitzest du, dem Glück im Schooß, 
Dünkt dir Alles treu und echt;
Erst das Elend macht dich recht 
Von dem süßen Wahne los. 

Wisse, das ist falsche Pracht, 
Die nur gleißt im Sonnenlicht  --  
Glanz der ew'gen Sterne bricht 
Auch aus Schleier grauer Nacht! 

Drum, o fleh' die Götter an, 
Daß dein Kahn im Sturme treibt, 
Und was dann dir treu verbleibt,  
Halte einzig, Herz, daran!
