An emotion of joy

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

An emotion of joy

I feel in my heart

that says happiness is coming

in spite of my fears.

Let us hope that the worry

will end in contentment.

Fate and love are

not always tyrants.

From weeping, from pain

one cannot always live

Sometimes then is born

a good thing out of sorrow.

And when one believes

the danger is greatest,

one sees shining

a greater calm.
