by Max Haushofer (1840 - 1907)

Der blühende Steig
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich weiss einen Steig, den nimmer ich geh',
und den ich oftmals gegangen;
den Steig, wo über dem blauen See
die Rotdornsträucher hangen.

Es war ein blühender, sonniger Steig,
wo sich schimmernde Falter schwangen;
Goldlichter spielten durch das Gezweig,
und verborgene Vögel sangen.

Die Falter sind tot, und der Vogel schweigt;
verdorrt sind die Rosen und Ranken.
Wer mir den Steig im Lenze zeigt
ich will's ihm ewig, ja ewig danken!
