by Franz Alfred Muth (1839 - 1890)

Sonntag ist's. In allen Wipfeln
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Sonntag ist's. In allen Wipfeln
Rauschet es der dunkle Wald;
Alle Bäche leise fließen,
Alle Vögel wonnig grüßen
Und von fern die Glocke hallt.

  Sonntag ist's. Am Zaun [die Lilie]1
Betet still im Gras für sich;
Rose hebt die süßen Augen
Und die rothen Lippen hauchen
Ein Gebet demüthiglich.

  Sonntag ist's. Ein heil'ger Frieden
Liegt auf Erden weit, so weit.
Sonntag ist's in allen Herzen,
Sonntag ist's für alle Schmerzen;
Heil'ger Sonntag weit und breit!
