by (Karl) Wilhelm Osterwald (1820 - 1887)

Aufbruch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Lüfte werden heller,
   Die schwarzen Wolken fliehn,
Mein Herz schlägt schnell und schneller,
   Möchte von hinnen ziehn.

Hinaus in die weite, freie,
   Die freie, weite Welt,
[Dar]1, wo der grüne Maie
   Sein schönstes Lager hält.

Wer giebt mir das Geleite?
   Das, linder West, thust du,
Du weißt, wohin ich schreite,
   Und wo ich Abends ruh.

Doch weiß es noch eine, noch eine,
   Die harrend am Fenster lehnt,
Und sich nach Mondenscheine
   Am hellen Mittag sehnt.
