Waldeinsamkeit
 (Sung text for setting by L. Thuille)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Deine süßen, süßen Schauer,
O Waldesruh',
In meine Seele hauche
Und träufle du!
Laß mich träumen die Träume
Der Jugendzeit!
O Frieden, o Ruh'! komm' über mich!
Wie lieb' ich dich, lieb' ich dich,
    Waldeinsamkeit!

Märzveilchen blüh'n, es treibt in den Bäumen,
Der Frühling kam;
Es zwitschern die Vögel, die Wipfel rauschen
So wundersam;
O Schöpfungsodem, der die Brust mir
Bezaubert und feit!
O Frieden, o Ruh', komm' über mich!
Wie lieb' ich dich, lieb' ich dich,
   Waldeinsamkeit!

Feierlich sonntägliche Stille
Und Frühlingszeit;
Kein Laut, keine Seele
Weit und breit!
Nur ein leiser, leiser Kummer
Ist mein Geleit; --
O Frieden, o Ruh'! komm' über mich!
Wie lieb' ich dich, lieb' ich dich,
   Waldeinsamkeit!
