A happier Christmas than that of 1768 had Gellert never seen; and it was his last. Scarcely a year after, on the 13th of December, 1769, Gellert died a pious, tranquil death, such as he had ever coveted.

As the long train which followed his bier moved to the churchyard of St.

John's, Leipzig, a peasant with his wife and children in holiday clothes entered among the last. It was Christopher with his family. The whole way he had been silent: and whilst his wife wept pa.s.sionately at the pastor's touching address, it was only by the working of his features that Christopher showed how deeply moved he was.

 

But on the way home he said: "I am glad I did him a kindness in his lifetime; it would now be too late."

The summer after, when he built a new house, he had this verse placed upon it as an inscription:

"Accept G.o.d's gifts with resignation, Content to lack what thou hast not: In every lot there's consolation; There's trouble, too, in every lot."
