by Ludwig Fulda (1862 - 1939)

Stromab! Stromab! Ich steh' am Rand
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Stromab!  Stromab!  Ich steh' am Rand
Des Ufers mit verhaltnem Weinen,
Und eine liebe liebe Hand
Ruht abschiednehmend in der meinen. 

Stromab! Stromab! Nun ist's geschehn;
Die Welle rauscht, die Segel wallen. 
Ein weißes Tüchlein seh' ich wehn,
Hör' eine Stimme Ruf verhallen. 

Stromab!  Stromab!  Zwei Furchen nur
Verrathen wo das Schiff gezogen; 
Schon überspülen ihre Spur 
Die fremde theilnahmlosen Wogen. 

O letzter Blick!  O letzter Blick!
Die heiße Thräne rinnt hernieder;
So ziehet Glück und Jugend fort
Stromab, stromab und kehrt nicht wieder.
