by Emil Rudolf Osman, Prinz von Schönaich-Carolath (1852 - 1908)

Du bist ein reizendes Gedicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du bist ein reizendes Gedicht,
Was die Natur im Frühling sang,
Du bist ein Strahl vom Maienlicht,
Der einer bess'ren Welt entsprang;

Du bist ein Engel, gottgesandt
In diese arme Welt hinab,
Der bösem Zweisel mich entwand 
Und mir den Frieden wiedergab.

O könnt' mein Leben ohne Ruh' 
Hinfließen unter deiner Hut,
Und könnt' ich werden so wie du,
So still, so mild, so fromm, so gut.
