Freilich, über den Wasser ich mich flottmache,

Am meine Pfad.
Ich bin frei; frei von jeder Schmerz!
Es gibt kein Seil zu binden mich an;
Mir gibt ‘s keine Sorge zu tragen-
Ruhig mein Herz ist, nach bleib ich
Die Welt und ihre Heuchlerei.

Ohne Häße, ohne Lieben,
Mußt ihr leben, meine Kinder.
Vor falsch-falsch noch
Ist jeder Ding, den seht ihr.
Deshalb ein Weiser achtet nicht
Die Weltwege, so falsch
Wie kennt er, so können sie werden. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 335 [topic] => 11 [informant] => Menelaus [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => german [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

Beautiful and touching!

If you could provide an English translation (although it would lose some of its grace) the majority of readers would find it easier to comment....

Es tut mir leid, ich aber kann dass tun leider nicht; Sie würden die Übersetzung bevorzugen mehr als mein Gedicht. Entschuldigen Sie, bitte.
Bis bald.

I am not fluent in German but do understand many of the words(thanks to a class in German)
I am sure many would like to read this in English as well.
A good piece.
