by (Hartwig Karl) Friedrich Eggers (1819 - 1872)

Es singt das Meer, das klingt so schön
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es singt das Meer, das klingt so schön,
  Es singt bei Nacht und bei Tag;
Das hören die Tannen auf den Höh'n
  Und rauschen sein Lied ihm nach.

Das hören die Vöglein im Waldesgrün
  Und jubeln's durch Busch und Strauch;
Das hören die Blumen, die drunten blühn,
  Und die Blumen, sie flüstern es auch.

Ich geh' am Meer, ich geh' [am]1 Wald,
  Ein Klingen mich umzieht.
[Mir]2 hallt und schallt in jeder Gestalt
  Das schöne, schöne Lied.

Wie heißt denn das Lied auf [Meer]3 und Höh'n,
  Das Allen so wohlgefällt?
Der Anfang heißt: Die Welt ist so schön!
  Das Ende:  Du schöne Welt! --
