Aus "Lila"

So tanzet und springet
in Reihen und Kranz,
Die liebliche Jugend,
Ihr ziemet der Tanz.

Am Rocken zu sitzen
Und fleißig zu sein,
Das Tagwerk zu enden,
Es schläfert euch ein.

Drum tanzet und springet,
Erfrischt euch das Blut,
Der traurigen Liebe
Gebt Hoffnung und Mut.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
