WANDERER'S NIGHT SONGS: 1 by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

First Line: THOU WHO FROM HEAVEN ART
Last Line: COME, OH COME INTO MY BREAST!

Thou who from heaven art,
All our pain and sorrow stillest,
All the souls that doubly smart,
Doubly with thy solace fillest,
Ah, if all this toil might cease!
Why this heartache, joy and zest?
Peace, sweet peace,
Come, oh come into my breast!
