Der Wanderer
 (Sung text for setting by B. Randhartinger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Werd' ich nicht getragen,
trag' auch ich nicht schwer.
Ohne Furcht und ohne Zagen
schreit' ich leicht einher!

 ... 

Hab' ich auch nur wenig,
hab' ich's doch gerecht!
Glücklich, wenn kein König,
bin ich auch kein Knecht!

Nicht von Sorg' umgeben,
die den Reichen bleicht,
leb' ich mir das Leben ,
atme frei und leicht!

 ...
