by Ludwig Bechstein (1801 - 1860)

O Strom, wie ziehst du
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Strom, wie ziehst du
Vorüber mir!   
So eilend fliehst du,
Und bliebst doch hier.
So till gebettet
So wunderbar,
So sanft geglättet
Und spiegelklar. 

Der Himmel sinket
In dich hinein,
Der Himmel winket
Aus dir, o Rhein! 
Er flammt so prächtig
In deinem Schooß,
Darum so mächtig
Bist du, so groß. 

O Strom, ich blicke
Auf dich, auf dich,
Fast von der Brücke
Verlockst du mich.
Ein Meer von Funken
In Rosengluth! 
Fast zieht michs trunken
In deine Fluth.
