In life's bright morn I see thee depart
I see thee go with a trembling heart;
Farewell, dear Youth, so joyous and free,
God's blessing ever abide with thee.
When thou dost stand where the ways divide
May thy Angel-guardian be at thy side;
God grant thou may'st choose the narrow way,
And from it may thy footsteps never stray.
'Wenn Du am Scheidewege stehst,
Und Pflicht und Wunsch den Kopf verwirren,
Du wirst im Pfad nur selten irren,
Wenn Du den Unbequemsten gehst."
- F. W. Weber, Gedichte.
