by Albert Jaessing (1850 - 1870)

Im Wald ist's so schaurig
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Wald ist's so schaurig, 
Im Wald ist's so fern, 
Im Wald bin ich traurig, 
Und doch so gern.  

Da rauschen die Bäume 
So dumpfen Gesang, 
In sinnende Träume 
Versink' ich bang.  

Ein mächtiges Sehnen 
Durchdringet mein Herz; 
Hier quellen die Thränen, 
Hier strömt der Schmerz.  

Im Wald darf ich weinen, 
In waldigen Schooß: 
O, weinen, o weinen 
Der Liebe Loos!
