by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Es liegen Wald und Heide
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Es liegen Wald und Heide
Im stillen Sonnenschein. 
Wir hätten gerne Frieden;
Doch ist es nicht beschieden,
Gestritten soll es sein.

Nun gilt es zu marschieren
In festem Schritt und Tritt:
Der Krieg ist losgelassen,
Er schreitet durch die Gassen,
Er nimmt uns alle mit!

So leb denn wohl, lieb Mutter!
Die Trommel ruft ins Glied. 
Mir aber in Herzensgrunde
Erklingt zu dieser Stunde
Ein deutsches Wiegenlied.
