Verstoßen! Verschlossen
Language: German (Deutsch)

Die Peri
 Verstoßen! Verschlossen
 Aufs neu das Goldportal!
 Gerichtet! Vernichtet,
 Der Hoffnung letzter Strahl!
 So soll ich's nimmer finden,
 Das edle, köstliche Gut,
 Weh mir, ich fühl' ihn schwinden,
 Den hohen Mut;
 Doch will ich nicht ruhn, will ohne Rast
 Von einem Pol zum andern schreiten,
 Durchpilgern will ich alle Weiten
 Bis ich das Gut, bis ich's erfaßt,
 Das mir das höchste Glück verheißt,
 Das, Eden, mir dein Tor erschleußt.
 Und wär's bewacht in Grau'n und Nacht,
 Tief in der Erde tiefsten Gründen,
 Ich will, ich muß das Kleinod finden!

Note: this text is a translation of part of Thomas Moore's Paradise and the Peri.
