by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Es rauschet das Wasser
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sie Es rauschet das Wasser Und bleibet nicht stehn; Gar lustig die Sterne Am Himmel hin gehn; Gar lustig die Wolken Am Himmel hin ziehn; So rauschet die Liebe Und fähret dahin. Er Es rauschen die Wasser, Die Wolken vergeh'n; Doch bleiben die Sterne, Sie wandeln und steh'n. So auch mit der Liebe, Der treuen, geschicht, Sie wegt sich, sie regt sich, Und ändert sich nicht.
