by Wilhelm Jensen (1837 - 1911)

Wenn die Rebe blüht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn die Rebe blüht, 
Gährt im Faß der Wein;
Wenn die Traube glüht,
Steigt der Durst am Rhein.

Grüß' Dich Gott, mein Schatz!  
Wollt',  Du wärst bei mir.
Wär' zur Stund' Dein Platz 
Wohl bereitet hier! 

Wo's zu Berge strebt,
Wo's zu Thale sinkt,
Wo's sich fröhlich lebt,
Wo's sich durstig trinkt. 

In die Traube rann
Himmelslicht und Gluth,
Wieder himmelan
Trägt uns dann ihr Blut.
