Guter Rath
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Sucht dich die Freude, grüsse sie, Sie schmückt das Erdenleben; Gib Raum ihr, doch vergiß es nie, Daß Flügel ihr gegeben. Und, wenn dich Leid und Weh ereilt, Mußt sie geduldig tragen, Und hoffen, daß die Wunde heilt Die Hand, die sie geschlagen!
Confirmed with Gedichte von Julius Sturm, Leipzig: F.A. Brockhaus, 1850, page 154
