Trost (Cornelius, set by P. Cornelius) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Der Glückes Fülle mir verliehn
Und Hochgesang,
Nun auch in Schmerzen preis ich ihn 
Mein Leben lang.
Mir sei ein sichres Himmelspfand,
Was ich verlor;
Mich führt der Schmerz an starker Hand
Zu ihm empor.
Wenn ich in Wonnen bang beklagt
Den Flug der Zeit,
In Schmerzen hat mir hell getagt
Unsterblichkeit.
