Give me love and contentment that I may proclaim thy glory, Lord of earth; give me health with competence, a pious heart, and a steadfast mind; give me children, worthy of all care; scare from my cheerful hearth the foe away; then give me wings, and one small hill of sand in my loved Fatherland, give wings to the soul so unwilling to flee, that it may easily tear itself from this beautiful world.
