by Gustav Kastropp (1844 - 1925)

Sei gegrüßt, du Waldesrauschen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sei gegrüßt, du Waldesrauschen,
Goldig grüne Dämmerluft!
Will dem Wehn des Windes Lauschen,
Baden mich in Blumenduft,

Horchen auf des Bachs Geriesel,
Der in Laub und Schilf versteckt,
Springend über bunte Kiesel,
Zarte Uferblumen neckt.

Auf dem Mose will ich liegen,
Eingewiegt in Waldesruh,
Die Gedanken aber fliegen
In das Tal dem Liebchen zu.
