Echo
 (Sung text for setting by C. Mangold)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
 ... 

Echo im stillen Tal
ist im Berge wach,
fern und nah und hundertmal
tönt ihr Atem nach.

Nur wenn ich im stillem Weh
Antwort suchen will,
ist im Tal und auf der Höh'
Echo immer still.

Dann wird keine Stimme wach,
die mir Antwort gibt,
und kein Herz ruft meinem nach -
keines, das mich liebt.
