by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
Und wo noch kein Wandrer gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Und wo noch kein Wandrer gegangen, Hoch über Jäger und Roß Die Felsen im Abendrot hangen Als wie ein Wolkenschloß. Dort zwischen den Zinnen und Spitzen Von wilden Nelken umblüht Die schönen Waldfrauen sitzen Und singen im Wind ihr Lied. Der Jäger schaut nach dem Schlosse; "Die droben, das ist mein Lieb". Er sprang von dem scheuenden Rosse - Weiß keiner, wo er blieb.
