by Anton Alexander, Graf von Auersperg (1806 - 1876), as Anastasius Grün

Meerfahrt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie so rein des Himmels [Bläue]1
Über meinem Haupte glänzt,
Fest und licht wie ew'ge Treue,
Wandellos und unbegrenzt!

Gleich dem ew'gen Frieden schimmert
Ruhig, klar und grün das Meer;
Wie die heil'ge Liebe flimmert
Hell die Sonne drüber her.

Frei und leicht auf freien Wogen
Zog das Schiff die ebne Bahn,
Stolz die weißen Segel flogen
Wie der Freiheit Siegesfahn'.

Sonne, Meer und Himmelsbläue,
Nichts ums Schiff sonst ringsumher!
Lieber Freiheit, Fried' und Treue!
Ei, was willst du denn noch mehr?

Ach, wenn nur der Wind vom Lande
Mir ein grünes Blatt allein,
Eine Blüte nur vom Strande
Wehte in das Schiff hinein!
