When you walk through the woods See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Little child, when you walk through woods, I want you to see The floating gold of a bumble bee. ... A cobweb net with a catch of dew, Treetops cones against the blue, Dancing flowers, bright green flies, And birds to put rainbows in your eyes. When you walk through woods I want you to hear A million sounds in your little ear, ... The cry of a hawk from the distant sky, The purr of leaves when a breeze rolls by, Brooks that murmur, stones that ring, And birds to teach your heart to sing. When you walk through the woods I want you to feel That no mere man could make this real... ... Could give the wonders of earth and sky; There's something greater than you and I. When you walk through the woods and the branches nod, Child, here you'll find a friend named God!
