by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Buntes Treiben!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Buntes Treiben!
Wirre Welt!
Wo zu bleiben
Dir gefällt,
Musst zu scheiden
Du erleiden,
Musst du fort!
Und am Ort,
Von dem gerne
Du zur Ferne
Möchtest eilen,
Musst du weilen!

Tolle Fahrt
Durch dies Leben!
Die Ihr eben
Fröhlich war't
Noch mit Andern,
Müsst nun wandern!
Trennungsweh!
Ob Ihr je,
Wenn Ihr aus einander geht,
Euch wieder seht?

Buntes Treiben!
[Wirre Welt!]1
Eins nur hält,
Eins muss bleiben,
Muss den weiten
Weg uns lenken,
Muss zum Schreiten
Kraft uns schenken:
Schöner Tage
Frohe Sage,
Schöner Zeiten
Angedenken
