by Detlev von Liliencron (1844 - 1909)

Es lauscht der Wald
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Es lauscht der Wald.
Komm bald, komm bald,
Eh noch verschallt im Lärm des neuen Tages
Der Quelle Murmeln, und verhallt.

Geschwind, geschwind,
Mein süßes Kind,
Eh noch im Wind die Schauer tiefer Stille
Verzogen und verflogen sind.

Durch Wipfel bricht
Das Morgenlicht.
O, länger nicht, mein holdes kleines Mädchen,
Laß nun mich warten, länger nicht.

Die Sonne siegt,
Allendlich schmiegt
Und lachend wiegt sie sich in meinen Armen.
Zum Himmel auf die Lerche fliegt.
