Ruderlied
 (Sung text for setting by J. Vesque von Püttlingen)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Glück zu, Glück zu, auf der spiegelnden Bahn,
  Gott lasse die Fahrt uns gelingen.
Es brausen die Wellen, es schaukelt der Kahn,
  Und die fröhlichen Schiffer singen,
Und zu der Ruder gedoppeltem Schlag
Flammt auf den Wellen der freudige Tag.

Der Schiffer zieht durch die schimmerde Fluth 
  Im frischen Leben und Treiben,
Ihn jagt ein ewig glühender Muth, 
  Er kann nicht rasten, noch bleiben,
Er muß zu den freundlichen Wellen hinaus.
Da ist seine Heimath, sein Vaterhaus.

 ...
