Wasser und Wein

(Sung text for setting by H. Esser)

Matches original text

Language: German (Deutsch)

Wer schuf das Wasser? wer den Wein?
Wasser her! schenket ein!
Das Wasser schuf nur Gott allein,
Das Wasser ist göttlich, und menschlich der Wein.

Mehr ist das Wasser als der Wein,
Wasser her! schenket ein!
Ich aber will bescheiden sein:
Ich lobe das Wasser und - trinke den Wein.

Composition:

Heinrich Esser

Text Authorship:

by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874), "Wasser und Wein"
