Reiselied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wasser stürzt, uns zu verschlingen, Rollt der Fels, uns zu erschlagen, Kommen schon auf starken Schwingen Vögel her, uns fortzutragen. Aber unten liegt ein Land, Früchte spiegelnd ohne Ende In den alterslosen Seen. Marmorstirn und Brunnenrand Steigt aus blumigem Gelände, Und die leichten Winde wehn.
