Im Walde
 (Sung text for setting by F. Lachner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es streckt der Wald die Zweige so grün
In den blauen Frühlingsmorgen,
Die Gipfel in duftigem Lichte blüh'n,
Die Stämme im Schatten geborgen.

Da sprengen die lustigen Reiter herein,
Die flatternden Fähnlein fliegen;
Es schmettern die Hörner Lieder darein,
Die klingend im Walde sich wiegen.

Und wie es wallt, und wie es schallt
Im brausenden Jugendgeflute,
O du stolzer grünender Frühlingswald,
So waldgrün wird mir zu Muthe!

Note: modernized spelling would change "Muthe" to "Mute"
