## The words

Wer wollte sich mit Grillen plagen,  
so lang uns Lenz und Jugend blühn?  
Wer wollt' in seinen Blütentagen,  
die Stirn in düstre Falten ziehn?  
Die Freude winkt auf allen Wegen,  
die durch diess Pilgerleben gehn;  
Sie bringt uns selbst den Kranz entgegen,  
wenn wir am Scheidewege stehn.
