by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Und die Waldsteige sind dunkel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und die Waldsteige sind dunkel,
Und die Bäume wehn kühl.
Ueberm Felde da funkelt
Die Sonne so schwül.

Wer ein'n Schatz hat im Sommer
Und herzen ihn möcht',
Zum Walde nur komm' er;
Da find't er's nit schlecht.

Die Lieb' und die Sonne
Die find allebeide schwül,
Und allebeid' auf Einmal
Das brennt gar zu viel.
