by Johann Baptist Berger (1860 - 1888), as Gedeon von der Heide

Ich steh' auf dem Berge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich steh' auf dem Berge
Und schaue ins Thal;
Es blühen die Bäume
Dort ohne Zahl. 

Aus all den Blüthen
Zu mir empor
Die Vöglein singen
In fröhlichem Chor'. 

Ich hab' keine Lieder
In meiner Brust; 
Für mich hat der Frühling
Keine Frühlingslust! 

Ich wollt', ach, ich wollte,
Sie trügen mich still 
Dahin, wo ich schlafen
Und träumen will.
