Das Echo
 (Sung text for setting by F. Kempf)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es saß an einem grünen Rain
ein fröhlicher Gesell;
da sang er in den Wald hinein
so heiter, froh und hell:

„Mein holdes Schätzlein, liebst du mich?“
Und kaum war es verhallt,
so rief so süß zurück „du mich?“
das Echo aus dem Wald.

Da sang er laut vor lauter Glück:
„Ja, innig lieb' ich dich!“
Und laut auch aus dem Wald zurück
rief's gar so süß: „ich dich!“

Da sprang hinab den grünen Rain
so heiter, froh und schnell
und sprach: „Jetzt muss die Hochzeit sein!“
der fröhliche Gesell.
