2. Waldfrieden  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  O wie muß dir sein, 
  Trautlieb [Vögelein]1! 
Auf den [schlanken]2 Tannen droben 
Ungestört den Herrn zu loben, 
  Könnt' [auch ich]3 so glücklich sein! 

  O wie muß dir sein, 
  Hellklar Waldbächlein! 
Mit melodisch süßem Singen 
Ungeseh'n durch's Moos zu [dringen]4, 
  Könnt' [auch ich]3 so glücklich sein! 

  O wie muß dir sein, 
  Frischroth Waldblümlein! 
Heimlich still im Grün zu glühen, 
Schmerzenslos dann zu verblühen! 
  Könnt' [auch ich]3 so glücklich sein!
