2. Es rauschet das Wasser  [sung text not yet checked]

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]1;
 Doch bleiben die Sterne, 
 Sie wandeln und [steh'n]2.
 So auch mit der Liebe, 
 [Der treuen, geschicht]3,
 Sie wegt sich, sie regt sich,
 Und ändert sich nicht.

 Wirst es noch verdrehen.
