by (Heinrich) Ludwig Theodor Giesebrecht (1792 - 1873)

Im Freien
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kann auch Frühling finster blicken,
kann er strenge sein.
Graue Wolken nicken,
Blumen sagen Nein.

In den Lüften mag es rauschen,
unten grünt es doch;
Blüten, Halme lauschen,
lächeln, duften noch.

Und die Sonne strahlend neiget
sich dem Abend zu,
Wipfel sind geschweiget,
Wolken sind in Ruh'.

Wechselnd freuet sich und trauert
das umstürmte Herz,
aber Friede dauert,
es verweht der Schmerz.
