by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Trunken müssen wir alle sein!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Trunken müssen wir alle sein! Jugend ist Trunkenheit ohne Wein; Trinkt sich das Alter wieder zu Jugend, So ist es wundervolle Tugend. Für Sorgen sorgt das liebe Leben, Und Sorgenbrecher sind die Reben.
