Herr! schicke, was du willt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Herr! schicke, was du [willt]1, Ein Liebes oder Leides; Ich bin vergnügt, daß beides Aus deinen Händen quillt. Wollest mit Freuden [Und wollest]2 mit Leiden Mich nicht überschütten! Doch in der Mitten, Liegt holdes Bescheiden.
F. Volkmann sets stanza 1
