TO EDUARD MORIKE by LUDWIG FULDA

First Line: THROUGH YOUR QUIET-SOULED ATTENDANCE
Last Line: YOU ARE KING BY GOD'S GOOD PLEASURE.
Subject(s): MORIKE, EDUARD (1804-1875);
THROUGH your quiet-souled attendance
Upon verse and your vocation
Runs a holy self-dependence
And a smiling resignation.

Where's the need for you to cherish
Far-brought beauty, far-sought treasure?
Of your house and of your parish
You are king by God's good pleasure.
