by Heinrich VII, Prinz Reuss zu Köstritz (1825 - 1906), as Heinrich VII, Prinz Reuss zu Köstritz

Mich treibt's
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mich treibt's, wenn schwarze Felsen
ragen zum Himmel hoch, und trotziglich 
in ihre Zacken mich zu wagen,
der Welt tief unter mir zu sagen:
Ich liebe dich!

Mich treibt's, wenn wilde Stürme toben,
in einer Eiche Wipfel mich 
zu ringen und, vom Sturm gehoben,
hinabzurufen von dort oben:
Ich liebe dich!
