Stilles Lied 3
 (Sung text for setting by J. Veldhuis)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
 ... 

Wie eine Quelle, wenn die jugendliche
Dem heimatlichen Berge nun entwich,
Die Pfade bebend sucht, und flieht und zögert,
Und durch die Wiesen irrt und bleiben möcht,
Und sehnend, hoffend immer doch enteilt:
So war ich; aber liebend hat der stolze,
Der schöne Strom die flüchtige genommen,
Und ruhig wall ich nun, wohin der sichre
Mich bringen will, hinab am heitern Ufer.
