Like the gleam | A |
Of a star so bright | B |
Kindly spirits | C |
High above the clouds | D |
Nourished him while youthful | E |
In the copse between the cliffs | F |
- | |
Young and fresh | G |
From the clouds he danceth | H |
Down upon the marble rocks | I |
Then tow'rd heaven | J |
Leaps exulting | K |
- | |
Through the mountain passes | L |
Chaseth he the colour'd pebbles | M |
And advancing like a chief | N |
Tears his brother streamlets with him | O |
In his course | P |
- | |
In the valley down below | Q |
'Neath his footsteps spring the flowers | R |
And the meadow | Q |
In his breath finds life | S |
- | |
Yet no shady vale can stay him | O |
Nor can flowers | R |
Round his knees all softly twining | K |
With their loving eyes detain him | O |
To the plain his course he taketh | H |
Serpent winding | K |
- | |
Social streamlets | R |
Join his waters And now moves he | T |
O'er the plain in silv'ry glory | T |
And the plain in him exults | R |
And the rivers from the plain | U |
And the streamlets from the mountain | J |
Shout with joy exclaiming Brother | V |
Brother take thy brethren with thee | T |
With thee to thine aged father | V |
To the everlasting ocean | J |
Who with arms outstretching far | W |
Waiteth for us | R |
Ah in vain those arms lie open | J |
To embrace his yearning children | J |
For the thirsty sand consumes us | R |
In the desert waste the sunbeams | R |
Drink our life blood hills around us | R |
Into lakes would dam us Brother | V |
Take thy brethren of the plain | U |
Take thy brethren of the mountain | J |
With thee to thy father's arms | R |
- | |
Let all come then | X |
And now swells he | T |
Lordlier still yea e'en a people | E |
Bears his regal flood on high | Y |
And in triumph onward rolling | K |
Names to countries gives he cities | R |
Spring to light beneath his foot | Z |
- | |
Ever ever on he rushes | R |
Leaves the towers' flame tipp'd summits | R |
Marble palaces the offspring | K |
Of his fullness far behind | A2 |
- | |
Cedar houses bears the Atlas | R |
On his giant shoulders flutt'ring | K |
In the breeze far far above him | O |
Thousand flags are gaily floating | K |
Bearing witness to his might | B |
- | |
And so beareth he his brethren | J |
All his treasures all his children | J |
Wildly shouting to the bosom | B2 |
Of his long expectant sire | V |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
