by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Von des Geiers Gefieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Von des Geiers Gefieder
Trag' ich Federn auf meinem Hut;
Aus den Lüften des Adlers Brut
Hol' ich hernieder.

Fort mit Zagen und Schwanken!
Mein Blei fliegt keck, mein Blei fliegt hoch,
Aber zehnmal höher noch
Meiner Liebe Gedanken.
