In der Kindheit fr\u00fchen Tagen
\nH\u00f6rt ich oft von Engeln sagen,
\nDie des Himmels hehre Wonne
\nTauschen mit der Erdensonne,<\/p>\n
Da\u00df, wo bang ein Herz in Sorgen
\nSchmachtet vor der Welt verborgen,
\nDa\u00df, wo still es will verbluten,
\nUnd vergehn in Tr\u00e4nenfluten,<\/p>\n
Da\u00df, wo br\u00fcnstig sein Gebet
\nEinzig um Erl\u00f6sung fleht,
\nDa der Engel niederschwebt,
\nUnd es sanft gen Himmel hebt.<\/p>\n
Ja, es stieg auch mir ein Engel nieder,
\nUnd auf leuchtedem Giefieder
\nF\u00fchrt er, ferne jedem Schmerz,
\nMeinen Geist nun himmelw\u00e4rst!<\/p>\n
