The Wanderer’s Night-Song

The Wanderer’s Night-Song

THOU who comest from on high,

Who all woes and sorrows stillest,

Who,for twofold[210]misery,

Hearts with twofold balsam fillest,

Would this constant strife would cease!

What are pain and rapture now?

Blissful Peace,

To my bosom hasten thou!
