by Karl Friedrich Henckell (1864 - 1929)

Was quillt und sprüht und sprudelt so
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was quillt und sprüht und sprudelt so 
Im Herzen alle Tage? 
Was macht mich traurig bald und froh, 
Giebt Freude mir und Plage? 

Das Wasser rauscht mit Macht, mit Macht, 
Bricht sich an tausend Steinen; 
Mich treibt die Lieb' mit Macht, mit Macht 
Zum Lachen und zum Weinen. 

O rausche weiter, kleiner Fluß! 
Lieg' ich am grünen Borde, 
Spielst zu Wonnen und Verdruß 
Mir flutende Akkorde.
