Die Quelle
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Kleiner, kühler Wiesenquell, silberglänzend rein und hell, horch! ein Liedchen singen wir, und es gilt, o Quelle, dir. Manche Freude danken wir, kühles Quellchen, herzlich dir! und so mancher Schmerz entsank und bei deinem Labetrank. Ohne Rast und ohne Ruh' eilst du ferner Gegend zu, nichts, ach! unterm Monde weilt, auch die Jugendlust enteilt.
