by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Waldfrieden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
O wie muß dir sein, 
Trautlieb Vögelein! 
Auf den schlanken Tannen droben 
Ungestört den Herrn zu loben, 
Könnt' auch ich so glücklich sein! 

O wie muß dir sein, 
Hellklar Waldbächlein! 
Mit melodisch süßem Singen 
Ungeseh'n durch's Moos zu klingen, 
Könnt' auch ich so glücklich sein! 

O wie muß dir sein, 
Frischroth Waldblümlein! 
Heimlich still im Grün zu glühen, 
Schmerzenslos dann zu verblühen! 
Könnt' auch ich so glücklich sein!
