by Hermann Löns (1866 - 1914)

Alle Birken grünen in Moor und Heid
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CHI
Alle Birken grünen in Moor und Heid,
Jeder Brahmbusch leuchtet wie Gold,
Alle Heidlerchen dudeln vor Fröhlichkeit,
Jeder Birkhahn kullert und tollt.

Meine Augen, die gehen wohl hin und her
Auf dem schwarzen, weißflockigen Moor,
Auf dem braunen, grünschäumenden Heidemeer
Und schweben zum Himmel empor.

Zum Blauhimmel hin, wo ein Wölkchen zieht
Wie ein Wollgrasflöckchen so leicht,
Und mein Herz, es singt sein leises Lied,
Das auf zum Himmel steigt.

Ein leises Lied, ein stilles Lied
Ein Lied, so fein und lind,
Wie ein Wölkchen, das über die Bläue zieht,
Wie ein Wollgrasflöckchen im Wind.
