by August Daniel Ehrenfried Stöber (1808 - 1884)

Ich rath' euch, ihr Winde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich rath' euch, ihr Winde,
Geht sachte, nur sachte,
Bringt würzige Düfte vom Blütengewinde,
Bringt liebliche Kühlung dem schlummernden Kinde!
Geht sachte, nur sachte! 

Ich rath' dir, o Quelle,
Nur stille, nur stille!
Ein andermal sprich mir, du silberne, helle,
Von Blumen am Ufer, den Liebchen der Welle.
Nur stille, nur stille! 

Ich rath' euch, im Haine,
Nur leise, nur leise! 
Bergvögelein, singet beim mondlichen Scheine,
O weckt nicht, o weckt nicht die rosige Kleine.
Nur leise, nur leise! 

Wie's strahlet so milde!
Wie's lächelt im Traume!
O siehst du wohl, Liebchen, viel Engelgebilde? 
Und spielst du mit ihnen auf goldnem Gefilde?
Wie's lächelt im Traume!
