Im Sommer

O weiche Luft voll Blumenduft,
   O Vogelsang der Auen,
Wie sehnt ich bang mich Monde lang,
   Zu lauschen und zu schauen!
Nun lacht die Erde um mich her 
   Im Sommersonnenscheine --
Der kleine Finke schlägt nicht mehr,
   Die Primel verblühte am Raine!

Die Rosen blühn aus vollstem Grün,
   Mit lichtem Thau begossen,
Die Sommerpracht ist aufgewacht, 
   Die Knospenwelt erschlossen.
Was scheint die Flur nur heut so leer?
   Ich wandle still alleine --
Der kleine Finke schlägt nicht mehr,
   Die Primel verblühte am Raine!
