by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Alles Wasser geht zum Meere
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Alles Wasser geht zum Meere
Und zum Herzen alles Blut,
Und zu dir, du Holde, Hehre,
Gehet all mein Sinn und Muth.

Wohl verschmacht' ich und zerrinn' ich
Stets in deiner Liebe Glut,
Aber wie der Quell gewinn' ich
Immer neue Lebensfluth.

Und aus diesem Quell' ergießet
Sich die Sehnsucht still und bang,
Und an seinen Ufern sprießet
Nur die Blume Lied und Sang.
