by Ferdinand Avenarius (1856 - 1923)

Im Sommer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
O weiche Luft voll Blumenduft,
   O Vogelsang der Auen,
Wie sehnt ich bang mich Monde lang,
   Zu lauschen und zu schauen!
Nun lacht die Erde um mich her 
   Im Sommersonnenscheine --
Der kleine Finke schlägt nicht mehr,
   Die Primel verblühte am Raine!

Die Rosen blühn aus [vollem]1 Grün,
   Mit lichtem Thau begossen,
Die Sommerpracht ist aufgewacht, 
   Die Knospenwelt erschlossen.
Was scheint die Flur nur heut so leer?
   Ich wandle still alleine --
Der kleine Finke schlägt nicht mehr,
   Die Primel verblühte am Raine!
