by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Sich legen an der Mutter Brust
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sich legen an der Mutter Brust,
Und ruhn in ihrem Schooße,
Das ist der Erde Himmelslust,
Die Seligkeit, die große.

O wär' es immer Blüthenmai 
Und reine Himmelsbläue, 
So wären Menschen sündenfrei, 
Und goldne Zeit auf's neue.
