by Carl (Ferdinand Max) Hauptmann (1858 - 1921)

Über mir in wolkigen Lüften
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Über mir in wolkigen Lüften
Jubeln Lerchen traumverloren.
Tief im Haidekraute lieg’ ich,
Fühle mich so erdgeboren.

Ganz, als ob ich aus der Scholle
Wildentwachsen wär’, wie Bäume,
Leicht vom Haidewind geschaukelt,
Erde halb -- und halb auch Träume.

Ganz, als ob ich aus der Scholle
Aufgeflogen wär' mit Schwingen,
Hoch im Sommerwind aufsteigend,
Erde halb -- und halb doch Klingen.
