Ich wollte einst die Welt umfassen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich wollte einst die Welt umfassen,
Voll Lieb, der treuen Liebe Sohn,
Mir ward's vergällt, denn reiches Hassen
Reicht' mir die Welt oftmals zum Hohn. 

Des Lebensmeeres Wogen schäumen,
Das Schifflein schwankt im Wellenschaum:
An deinem Herzen lass mich träumen,
O, gönne mir den Frühlingstraum.
