by Friedrich von Schlegel (1772 - 1829)

Die Gebüsche
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Es wehet kühl und leise
Die Luft durch dunkle Auen,
Und nur der Himmel lächelt
Aus tausend hellen Augen.
Es regt nur Eine Seele
Sich in der Meere Brausen,
Und in den leisen Worten,
Die durch die Blätter rauschen.
So tönt in Welle Welle,
Wo Geister heimlich trauren;
So folgen Worte Worten,
Wo Geister Leben hauchen.
Durch alle Töne tönet
Im bunten Erdentraume
Ein leiser Ton gezogen,
Für den, der heimlich lauschet.
