by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Die Linde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
O Lindenbaum, welch schöner Traum
Ist dir beschert vor allen:
Du blühst, wenn längst jedwedem Baum
Die Blüten sind entfallen.

Wenn glühend brennt der Sonne Strahl,
Und schon die Früchte schwellen,
Da sendest du [hinab in's]1 Thal
[Weithin der Düfte]2 Wellen.

O [könnt' auch ich, wenn mir verweht
Der Jugendtraum im]3 Winde,
[Noch blühen fort im Leben spät]4
Wie du, süßduftge Linde!
