An des lustgen Brunnens Rand

Suleika:
 An des lustgen Brunnens Rand,
 Der in Wasserfäden spielt,
 Wußt ich nicht, was fest mich hielt;
 Doch da war von deiner Hand
 Meine Chiffer leis gezogen,
 Niederblickt ich, dir gewogen.

 Hier, am Ende des Kanals
 Der gereihten Hauptallee,
 Blick ich wieder in die Höh,
 Und da seh ich abermals
 Meine Lettern fein gezogen:
 Bleibe! bleibe mir gewogen!

Hatem:
 Möge Wasser springend, wallend
 Die Zypressen dir gestehn:
 Von Suleika zu Suleika
 Ist mein Kommen und mein Gehn.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) , no title, 1815, from West-östlicher Diwan, in Suleika Nameh -- Buch Suleika
