O where can this poor human heart
Storm-tossed on life's rough shore,
Find perfect rest from all its smart
But—where it beats no more.

Additional quotes by Johann Gaudenz von Salis-Seewis

Ach Land! Ach Land! Für alle Sturmbedrohten
Der mildeste von unsers Schicksals Boten
Winkt uns, die Fackel umgewandt,
Und leitet uns mit sanfter Hand,
In's Land der grossen Todten,
In's stille Land!

Work! for through business the wise man is seen,
With it are glory undying and praise.

Into the silent land!
Ah, who shall lead us thither?

O where can this poor human heart Storm-tossed on life's rough shore, Find perfect rest from all its smart But—where it beats no more. - Johann Gaudenz von Salis-Seewis
