Die Zufriedenheit im niedrigen Stande
Language:
German
Ich trachte nicht nach solchen Dingen,
Die hoch und zu gefährlich sind;
Mein Geist sucht nirgends durchzudringen,
Als wo er leichte Bahne findt.
Ich ruhe sanft bis an den Morgen,
Wenn mancher, welcher voller Sorgen
Nach eitler Hoffnung ängstlich ringt,
Der blinden Göttin Weihrauch bringt.
