by Heinrich Pfeil (1835 - 1899)

Wie das Veilchen sollst du sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie das Veilchen sollst du sein:
Einfach und bescheiden;
Allen Putz und Flitterschein
Sollst du sorgsam meiden! 

Wie das Veilchen sollst du sein:
Nie zu hoch aufstreben,
Sollst zur Freude und zur Lust
Allen Menschen leben.
