by Franz Theodor Kugler (1808 - 1858)

Du bist so still und trübe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
"Du bist so still und trübe, 
Und solltest fröhlich sein. 
Blick auf!  am rothen Himmel, 
Das ist der Morgenschein."  

Und ist's der rothe Morgen, 
Doch bin ich trüb' und still; 
Ich kann es nicht begreifen, 
Wie Alles werden will.  

Mir banget vor dem Glücke, 
Als wär' es gar ein Leid; 
Und doch,  --  steig' auf, o Sonne! 
Es ist ja Steigens Zeit.
