by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Die Mutter spricht: "Auf Busch und Blatt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Mutter spricht: "Auf Busch und Blatt
Liegt still die Thränensaat,
Und wer sich früh dem Walde naht,
Wenn noch kein Licht geleuchtet hat,
Den grüßt das gleißende Geschmeid'
Und bringt ihm eitel Noth und Leid."
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
Weh meiner jungen Seel' . . .
Die Sehnsucht trieb mich aus dem Haus
Schon lang vor Tag zum Wald hinaus --
Die Buchen standen rings umher
So maiengrün, so schlummerschwer . . .
Sie wisperten so wunderlich
Und streuten Thränen über mich --
Da ward mein weißes Kleidchen naß!
Weh meiner jungen Seel' . . .
