by (Ferdinand August) Otto Heinrich, Graf von Loeben (1786 - 1825)

Der Vogel schwingt sich zu den Wolken...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Vogel schwingt sich zu den Wolken auf; 
Wir eilen die blauen Gebirge hinauf, 
Hinauf, hinunter, im Fluge fort!  
Wohlauf und munter!  bald da, bald dort!   

Und ist's kein Fliegen, so singen wir doch, 
Im Wald, o Vergnügen!  wird's lauter noch! 
Und hört uns keiner, so freut's doch den Wald, 
Und sucht uns einer, er hört, wo's schallt. 

Und denkt wer meiner, da hör' ich's bald, 
Da flüstert geheimer der grüne Wald.
