by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Rheinweinlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gott segne dich, wallender, wogender Rhein
und deine grüngoldenen Fluten,
doch mehr noch segne er den funkelnden Wein,
den deine Reben verbluten!

Die Trauben vom  Neckar, die Trauben vom Main,
die Trauben der Elb' und der Saale,
mögt ihr sie keltern für euren Wein;
Rheinwein in meine Pokale!

Bunt schillert die Tulp' auf des Lenzes Flur,
und Nelken mögen voll Schein sein,
doch die Ros' ist der Blumen Königin nur,
und des Weines König der Rheinwein!

Du Wein vom Rheine, du Feuerwein,
du bist das deutsche Getränke,
du bist der echte, der rechte Wein,
den noch lang' ich zu trinken gedenke.
