by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Götter! keine frostige
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Götter! keine frostige
Ewigkeit!
[Eine]1 freudenmostige
Jugendzeit,
[Eine]2 nie sich trübende,
Liebeswonnen übende
Seligkeit!

Nicht mit Lorbeerblatte mir
Lohn', o Welt!
Bleib', o Myrthenschatte, mir
Still gesellt,
Bis mir auf's vergessene
Grab einst der cypressene
Schatte fällt.
