by Friedrich von Hardenberg (1772 - 1801), as Novalis

Walzer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hinunter die Pfade des Lebens gedreht 
Pausiert nicht, ich bitt euch so lang es noch geht 
Drückt fester die Mädchen ans klopfende Herz 
Ihr wißt ja wie flüchtig ist Jugend und Scherz.

Laßt fern von uns Zanken und Eifersucht sein 
Und nimmer die Stunden mit Grillen entweihn 
Dem Schutzgeist der Liebe nur gläubig vertraut 
Es findet noch jeder gewiß eine Braut.

Confirmed with Gedichte / Die Lehrlinge zu Sais. Gedichte. Novalis, 1997, Philipp Reclam jun., Stuttgart.
