by Heinrich Leuthold (1827 - 1879)

Wanderlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Und wieder [jagt]1 mich der Reisetrieb,
Und wandern [möcht']2 ich von Pol zu Pol;
Drum, liebliches Kind, [vielsüßes]3 Lieb,
   [Vielsüßes]3 Lieb, leb' wohl!

[Noch einmal,]4 gestützt auf den Wanderstab,
Schau' ich zurück, schau' ich zurück; 
[Duftige]5 Blüthen fallen herab,
   Und hemmen meinen Blick. 

Nun folg' ich ohne Reiseziel
Der Vögel Flug, der Wolken Zug;
Des Schönen hat die Welt so viel,
   Hat auch für mich genug.

Und trag' ich gleich im leichten Kleid
Kein schimmerndes Gold, kein schimmerndes Gold,
Ist doch manch' [Herz, manch' rosige]6 Maid
   Dem Wanderburschen hold. 

Und der Vögel Schlag in [Busch]7 und Hag,
Das Waldesdunkel, der Sonnenschein, 
Und der klingende, singende Frühlingstag
   Ist [Alles, Alles]8 mein!
