by Julius Rodenberg (1831 - 1914)

Mit gutem Fahrwind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CHI
O Wind, mit lustigem Fluge,
Wie hauchst Du so lind und weich!
Wie schwellst Du mit [frischerem]1 Zuge
Das Herz und die Segel zugleich!

Wol lag in der Mittagshitze
Das Meer so trostlos glatt;
Wol hing von des Mastes Spitze
Das Wimpel schlaff und matt.

Nun aber hebt sich ein Rauschen,
Das Wasser sich munter wiegt;
Die weißen Segel bauschen,
[Am Mäste die Flagge]2 fliegt.

Die Sonne geht zu Rüste,
Kühlung athmet die Fluth;
Ich grüße die ferne Küste,
Und nun ist Alles gut.
