Wie ist doch die Erde so schön!
 (Sung text for setting by F. Messer)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE SPA
Wie ist doch die Erde so schön!
Das wissen die Vögelein:
Sie heben ihr leicht' Gefieder,
Und singen so fröhliche Lieder
In den blauen Himmel hinein.

Wie ist doch die Erde so schön!
Das wissen die Flüss' und Seen:
Sie malen im klaren Spiegel
Die Gärten und Städt' und Hügel,
Und die Wolken, die drüber geh'n!

Und Sänger und Maler wissen es,
Und es wissen's viel and're Leut'!
Und wer's nicht malt, der singt es,
Und wer's nicht singt, dem klingt es
In dem Herzen vor lauter Freud'!
