Language: German (Deutsch)

O wie muß dir sein, 
Trautlieb Waldvöglein! 
Auf den blanken Tannen droben 
Ungestört den Herrn zu loben, 
Könnt' ich auch so glücklich sein! 

O wie muß dir sein, 
Hellklar Waldbächlein! 
Mit melodisch süßem Singen 
Ungeseh'n durch's Moos zu dringen, 
Könnt' ich auch so glücklich sein! 

O wie muß dir sein, 
Frischroth Waldblümlein! 
Heimlich still im Grün zu glühen, 
Schmerzenslos dann zu verblühen! 
Könnt' ich auch so glücklich sein!
