The water rushes
Brahms, Johannes
She
The water rushes
And will not stay still;
The stars pass merrily
In the sky,
The clouds advance
Merrily in the sky,
And so Love rushes
And wanders there.
He
The waters are rushing,
The clouds dissolving;
Yet the stars remain:
They wander and hover.
And so it happens as well with Love,
The true kind:
It sways, it stirs,
And does not change.
