by Emanuel, Freiherr von Bodman (1874 - 1946)

Der Brunnen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Springt ein Brunnen aus der Erde,
Spiegelt Himmelblau und Nacht,
Und damit er selig werde,
Lauscht er, wie er rauscht, erwacht.

Mit Entzücken und Erschrecken
Sieht er aller Lust und Qual
leichten Schein in seinem Becken
Und sich selbst mit seinem Strahl.

Aber ewig fließt vom Munde
Ihm sein Klang und flüchtiges Bild,
Weil die Flut in seinem Grunde
Aus den, ewigen Brunnen quillt.
