Und sprich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sieh auf dem Meer den Glanz der hohen Sonne liegen, sieh über die Wogen hin, die leisen Spiels sich wiegen, zahllose Lichter und zahllose Schatten fliegen, und sprich zu deinem Leid: "Du kleine, dunkle Welle." Und sprich zu deinem Glück: "Du Glanz an flücht'ger Stelle." Und sprich zu deinem Gott: "Du ew'ge Sonnenhelle."
