by Karl Friedrich Hartmann Mayer (1786 - 1870)

Irrend durch des Waldes Pfade
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Irrend durch des Waldes Pfade, 
An des Baches Felsgestade, 
Find' und such' ich keine Gleit. 
Selbst nicht Lichtesstrahlen dringen,
Wo sich Äste dicht verschlingen,
Zu mir in die Einsamkeit. 

Hallt es durch die Wildniß wieder, 
Ach!  so sind es nur die Lieder 
Meiner leiderfüllten Brust; 
Echo nur des eignen Schmerzens 
Tönt der Stimme meines Herzens 
Immer neu in bittrer Lust.
