SEE the rock born streamA
Like the gleamA
Of a star so brightB
Kindly spiritsC
High above the cloudsD
Nourished him while youthfulE
In the copse between the cliffsF
-
Young and freshG
From the clouds he dancethH
Down upon the marble rocksI
Then tow'rd heavenJ
Leaps exultingK
-
Through the mountain passesL
Chaseth he the colour'd pebblesM
And advancing like a chiefN
Tears his brother streamlets with himO
In his courseP
-
In the valley down belowQ
'Neath his footsteps spring the flowersR
And the meadowQ
In his breath finds lifeS
-
Yet no shady vale can stay himO
Nor can flowersR
Round his knees all softly twiningK
With their loving eyes detain himO
To the plain his course he takethH
Serpent windingK
-
Social streamletsR
Join his waters And now moves heT
O'er the plain in silv'ry gloryT
And the plain in him exultsR
And the rivers from the plainU
And the streamlets from the mountainJ
Shout with joy exclaiming BrotherV
Brother take thy brethren with theeT
With thee to thine aged fatherV
To the everlasting oceanJ
Who with arms outstretching farW
Waiteth for usR
Ah in vain those arms lie openJ
To embrace his yearning childrenJ
For the thirsty sand consumes usR
In the desert waste the sunbeamsR
Drink our life blood hills around usR
Into lakes would dam us BrotherV
Take thy brethren of the plainU
Take thy brethren of the mountainJ
With thee to thy father's armsR
-
Let all come thenX
And now swells heT
Lordlier still yea e'en a peopleE
Bears his regal flood on highY
And in triumph onward rollingK
Names to countries gives he citiesR
Spring to light beneath his footZ
-
Ever ever on he rushesR
Leaves the towers' flame tipp'd summitsR
Marble palaces the offspringK
Of his fullness far behindA2
-
Cedar houses bears the AtlasR
On his giant shoulders flutt'ringK
In the breeze far far above himO
Thousand flags are gaily floatingK
Bearing witness to his mightB
-
And so beareth he his brethrenJ
All his treasures all his childrenJ
Wildly shouting to the bosomB2
Of his long expectant sireV

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
