Wie lieblicher Klang! O Lerche! dein Sang, Er hebt sich, er schwingt sich in Wonne. Du nimmst mich von hier, Ich singe mit dir, Wir steigen durch Wolken zur Sonne. O Lerche! du neigst Dich nieder, du schweigst, Du sinkst in die blühenden Auen. Ich schweige zumal Und sinke zuthal, Ach! tief in Moder und Grauen.
F. Mendelssohn sets stanza 1
