by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Ein grünes Fleckchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Verschneit noch alle Felder,
Und scharf und rauh der Wind;
So stumm noch alle Wälder,
Und jeder Zweig noch blind!
  Nur hier am Waldessaume,
Wo früh der Schnee zerthaut,
Blickt an mich, wie im Traume,
Ein grünes Fleckchen traut. 

  O! wie mir gleich so wonnig
Das Herz im Leibe lacht,
Als ob der Frühling sonnig
Schon wär' im Land erwacht!
  Und hilft mir musicieren
Auch noch kein Vögelein:
Doch muß ich jubilieren
Laut in den Wald hinein!

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, pages 5-6.
