by Emil Taubert (1844 - 1895)

Liebesboten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Über die Felder fort
Schick' ich dir Grüsse zu;
Wandern von Ort zu Ort
Mit leichtem Schuh,
Ruhen und rasten nicht,
Steuernd dem Ziele zu.
Herzliebes Lenzgedicht,
Ihr Ziel bist du.

Treffen dann auf dem Weg
Boten von dir,
Kreuzen am Wiesenweg
Die Grüsse sich hier.
Darum so flink zu Haus
Sind sie allstund,
Als tauschten wir Grüsse aus
Von Mund zu Mund.
