Perscheid is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis (district) in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Sankt Goar-Oberwesel, whose seat is in the town of Oberwesel.
The municipality lies on the eastern edge of the Hunsrück on a mountain ridge between the Rhine Gorge and the Autobahn A 61, roughly 4 km southwest of Oberwesel. Perscheid is the southernmost municipality in the Verbandsgemeinde of Sankt Goar-Oberwesel.
Digs and gravesite finds around Perscheid show that there were settlers here in Hallstatt times (about 1500 to 1200 BC). Archaeological finds such as coins, foundations and fragments of temples from Roman times furthermore point to an occupation at that time. In 1248, Perscheid had its first documentary mention as Dorfschaft Perrischeit. Authority was exercised by the Electorate of Trier. Beginning in 1794, Perscheid lay under French rule. In 1815 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. Since 1946, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
It's in a stroke of a brush
It's in the wave of a hand
And a view so bright
It turns the world
And makes all right
Yet seems to say, come what may
You will be what you will
With a brush stroke of fate
You will have to think again
If you touch by it all
Lucky to be brushed by it all
Than walk a crooked mile
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
Somebody else threw it down
Looks like that you're the next blessed in town
It's in a verse that you read
It's in the tune in your head
That makes all light
Turns your world
Illuminates life
And makes you see
All the love within
Is still yet to come out
Like the word, as a bang
You have to think again
And get touched by it all
Than walk in single file
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
Somebody else threw it down
Looks like you're the next blessed in town
[Incomprehensible]
So the word, as a bang
You will have to think again
Than walk in single file
In a worn out smile
That you found on the ground
