possibly by Ludwig Koch (1806 - 1888)

Der Bettler
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Armer Mann mit deinem Stabe
wanderst du nach deinem Grabe?
Ist das Leben dir zur Last?
Bleibe hier in unserm Kreise,
bleib' o hemme deine Reise,
setze dich und halte Rast.
Sieh, gar schön ist's hier zu weilen,
Alles sollst du mit uns theilen,
was der liebe Gott uns gab,
Sorgsam wollen wir dich pflegen,
dir dein Haupt zur Ruhe legen,
doch noch nicht in's kalte Grab.
