possibly by Joseph Vinel Massaloup

Über die Berge, durch Flur und Hain
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Über die Berge, durch Flur und Hain 
Zieh' ich stets lustig dahin: 
Rosiges Mägdlein und perlender Wein 
Stimmen mir fröhlich den Sinn. 

Strahlet die Sonne am Himmelszelt, 
Herrlich beleuchtend das Thal, 
Jegliches Wesen für glücklich sich hält, 
Ist auch nur dürstig sein Mahl. 

Reichthum macht immer den Menschen froh, 
Armuth ist oft ihm Gewinn; 
Winkt auch am Abend ein Lager von Stroh, 
Hat er nur heiteren Sinn. 

Darum, ihr Freunde, habet wohl Acht, 
Daß er euch nimmer gebricht,  -- 
Wem er im Lenze des Lebens nicht lacht, 
Findet im Alter ihn nicht.
