by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Ungeduld
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Immer wieder in die Weite
Über Länder an das Meer,
Phantasieen in der Breite
Schwebt am Ufer hin und her!
Neu ist immer die Erfahrung:
Immer ist dem Herzen bang,
Schmerzen sind der Jugend Nahrung,
Thränen seliger Lobgesang.

Confirmed with Goethe's Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe, letzter Hand, Dritter Band, Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung, 1828, page 33.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".
