Ich halte fur die høchste Aufgabe einer Verbindung zweier Menschen diese: dass einer dem andern seine Einsamkeit bewache...

My God, 
I love thee; Not because
I hope for heaven thereby...

See, amid the winter`s snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See, the Lamb of God appears,
Promised from eternal years !

Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren`t go a-hunting,
For fear of little men.

Four duck on a pond,
A grass-bank beyond,
A blue sky of spring,
White clouds on the wing;
What a little thing
To remember for years-
To remember with tears !
