An die Lerche
 (Sung text for setting by O. Dorn)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vöglein, Vöglein in den Lüften,
Lerche, die zum Himmel schwebt,
Unten still in Blumendüften
Und im Grün der Wiesen lebt,
Du bist mein, du süße Kehle,
Meine Seele, meine Lust,
Alle Lust der Menschenseele
Ringst du hell aus frommer Brust.

 ... 

O wie süß, mit dir zu kreisen
In dem heitern Sonnenstrahl!
O wie süß, mit dir zu reisen
Himmelauf vom Erdenthal!
Aufzujubeln, aufzusingen,
Was das stille Herz nur weiß,
Und aus voller Brust zu klingen
Himmelslust und Himmelspreis!
