by Wilhelm Raabe (1831 - 1910)

Auf allen Höhen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Auf allen Höhen 
Da wollt' ich steigen, 
Zu allen Tiefen 
Mich niederneigen. 

Das Nah' und Ferne 
Wollt' ich erkünden, 
Geheimste Wunder 
Wollt' ich ergründen. 

Gewaltig Sehnen, 
Unendlich Schweifen, 
Im ew'gen Streben 
Ein Meergreifen  --  
Das war mein Leben. 

Nun ist's geschehen;  --  
Aus allen Räumen 
Hab' ich gewonnen 
Ein holdes Träumen. 

Nun sind umschlossen 
Im engsten Ringe, 
Im stillsten Herzen 
Weltweite Dinge. 

Lichtblauer Schleier 
Sank nieder leise; 
Im Liebesweben,
Goldzauberkreise  --  
Ist nun mein Leben.
