Aber auch den Föhrenwald

Aber auch den Föhrenwald
lass' ich mir nicht schelten,
wenn mein Jauchzen widerhallt,
in dem sonnerhellten!

Heiter ist's und aufgeräumt
und das Wehn der Föhren,
wenn die Luft in ihnen träumt,
angenehm zu hören!

Lieg' ich so im Farrenkraut,
schwindet jede Grille,
und es wird das Herz mir laut
in der Föhrenstille.
