  Wenn nur der Rhein nicht wär
Und der Sonnenschein
So strahlend drüber her,
Und der goldene Wein.
 
  Und die sieben Berge nicht
Und der alte Zoll
Und das Schifflein im Angesicht
Mit den Segeln voll.
 
  Und die Mägdelein so wundernett
Und der Rundgesang,
Und der Morgen so schön im Bett
Und der Tag so lang--
 
  Ach! wie studirten wir
So gar fleißig Jus!
Rhein, Rhein! es liegt an dir,
Daß man bummeln muß!
