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]1 es doch;
[Blüten, Halme]2 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]3 dauert,
[es]4 verweht der Schmerz.
