Der römische Brunnen
 (Sung text for setting by H. Gál)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Aufsteigt der Strahl und fallend gießt
Er voll der Marmorschalen Rund,
Die sich verschleiernd, überfließt
In einer zweiten Schale Grund;
Die zweite gibt, sie wird zu reich,
Der Dritten wallend ihre Flut,
Und jene nimmt und gibt zugleich,
Und strömt und ruht.
