by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828)
Gütigster, Bester!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Gütigster, Bester! Weisester, Gröster! So lang ich Thränen habe, Und an der Kunst mich labe, Sey beydes Dir geweiht, Der Beydes mir verleiht! So Güt' als Weisheit strömen mild, Von Dir, o Gottes Ebenbild, Engel bist du mir auf Erden; Gern möcht' ich Dir dankbar werden. Unser aller Großpapa, Bleibe noch recht lange da!
