by Enrica von Handel-Mazzetti (1871 - 1955)

Durch des Waldes Schatten hüpfet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch des Waldes Schatten hüpfet
Leis‘ und sacht ein Elflein klein,
Durch des Waldes Dunkel
Schlüpfet es wie Sonnenstrahlen rein.
Elfchen tanzt so leis und sachte
Über Teiche über Seen,
Wenn das Elflein freundlich lachte,
Klang’s wie Silberton aus Höh'n.
Immer schwebt es durch die Schatten
Sachte wie der Abendwind und
Durch lichte grüne Matten
Schwebt das holde Elfenkind.
