Ich hör' die Bächlein rauschen

Language: German (Deutsch)


Ich hör' die Bächlein rauschen
Im Walde her und hin,
Im Walde in dem Rauschen
Ich weiß nicht, wo ich bin.

Die Nachtigallen schlagen
Hier in der Einsamkeit,
Als wollten sie was sagen
Von [der alten, schönen]¹ Zeit.

Die Mondesschimmer fliegen,
Als [seh']² ich unter mir
Das Schloß im Thale liegen,
Und ist doch so weit von hier!

Als müßte in dem Garten
Voll Rosen weiß und roth,
[Meine]² Liebste auf mich warten,
Und ist [doch lange]³ todt.
