Sympathie
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im grünen Wald von Menschen fern,
Da mag so gern, so gern ich wandern, 
Da spricht von Liebe jeder Baum,
Von Liebe jeder Strauch zum andern.

Es ist der Liebe Klagelied,
Von dem die Nachtigallen schlagen;
Es ist der Liebe Jubelsang, 
Den Lerchen auf zum Himmel tragen. 

O Herz, mein Herz, von Lieb' bedrängt 
Zum grünen Walde mußt du geh'n,
Denn Alles, was dich dort umgiebt,
Kann deiner Liebe Leid versteh'n.

Confirmed with Nebenblatt zur Rumberger Zeitung, Nordböhmischer Familien-Freund, 2. Band, Rumberg, Verlag von Heinz Pfeifer, 1877, page 176.
