Language: German (Deutsch)
Das Fischergewerbe
Giebt rüstigen Muth!
Wir haben zum Erbe
Die Güter der Fluth.
Wir graben nicht Schätze,
Wir pflügen kein Feld;
Wir erndten im Netze,
Wir angeln uns Geld.
Wir heben die Reusen
Den Schilfbach entlang,
Und ruhn bei den Schleusen,
Zu sondern den Fang.
Goldweiden beschatten
Das moosige Dach;
Wir schlummern auf Matten
Im kühlen Gemach.
