by Karl Stögmann

Wenn ich sterben sollte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und wenn ich sterben sollte,
Müsst es im Wasser sein,
Da wo's am tiefsten gehet,
Da stürzt' ich mich hinein!
 
Ich hab' sie stets geliebet,
Sie war mir immer gut,
Die still geheimnisvolle,
Die klare Wasserfluth.
 
Das Wasser war mein Liebchen,
Bei dem ich Liebe genossen,
Wer ruhte denn nicht gerne
In seiner Liebchen Schooss?
