by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Drosselschlag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Allabendlich zur Zeit der Rast,
wenn es schon dämmert leise,
Singt eine Drossel hoch vom Ast
  Noch ihre Weise.

Und wenn das Frühlicht rosig kühl
Vor meiner Burg will tagen,
Da hör' ich sie vom heißen Pfühl
  Schon wieder schlagen.

O sie trägt Frohmuth unbegrenzt
Im lustigen Gefieder,
Ich aber lieg', dieweil es lenzt,
  Sanglos darnieder.
