by August von Platen-Hallermünde (1796 - 1835)

Der Beschwingte
 (Sung text for setting by J. D'Alquen)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Vogel bin ich worden
mit rüstigem Gefieder,
zu flattern auf und nieder,
nach Süden und nach Norden.

Von einem Ort zum andern
verlockt mich eitles Treiben;
es frommt mir nicht das Bleiben,
es frommt mir nicht zu wandern.

Doch könnt' ich dich ereilen
und deinen Stolz besiegen,
wie gerne wollt' ich fliegen,
und ach, wie gern verweilen!

    Set to music by Johann Peter Cornelius D'Alquen (1795 - 1863), "Der Beschwingte", op. posth. 3 (8 Lieder) no. 7
