Park footbridge in Bad Mergentheim, Baden-Wurttenberg (Germany)

Let, O world, O let me be!
Lure me not with what love giveth,
Make this heart of mine content with
Its own joy, its own grief!

What grieves me, I know it not,
It is some unheard-of thorn;
Yet through my tears I will see
The warming sunlight come the morn.

Poem by Eduard Moerike,
poet from Bad Mergentheim
