An meine Mutter

Siehe, von allen den Liedern 
nicht eines gilt dir, o Mutter,
dich zu preisen, o glaub's ! 
bin ich zu arm und zu reich. 
Ein noch ungesungenes Lied, 
ruhst du mir am Busen, 
keinem vernehmbar sonst, 
mich nur zu trösten bestimmt, 
wenn sich das Herz unmutig 
der Welt abwendet 
und einsam seines himmlischen Teils 
ewigen Frieden bedenkt.

by Eduard Mörike (1804-1875)
