by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

Die versunkene Krone
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Da droben auf dem Hügel,
Da steht ein kleines Haus; 
Man sieht von seiner Schwelle
Ins schöne Land hinaus.
Dort sitzt ein freier Bauer 
Am Abend auf der Bank,
Er dengelt seine Sense 
Und singt dem Himmel Dank.

Da drunten in dem Grunde,
Da dämmert längst der Teich.
Es liegt in ihm versunken 
Eine Krone stolz und reich;
Sie läßt zunacht wohl spielen
Karfunkel und Saphir;
Sie liegt seit grauen Jahren, 
Und niemand sucht nach ihr.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Ludwig Uhland, erster Band, Verlag der Cotta'schen Buchhandlung, Stuttgart, 1898, page 309.
