by Johann Friedrich Kind (1768 - 1843)

Das Veilchen im Thale
 (Sung text for setting by C. Weber)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT ENG
Ein Veilchen blüht im Thale,
Erwacht am Morgenstrahle;
So duftig und so blau
Ist keines mehr auf der Au'.

Still guckt es aus dem Moose;
In seinem goldnen Schooße
Blinkt Thau so hell und rein,
Wie flüß'ger Edelstein.

"Willst hier so ungesehen
Im kalten Moos vergehen?
Komm mit in mild'res Thal,
In schön'rer Sonne Strahl."

"Sollst dort in laur'n Zonen,
In Blumenhügeln wohnen,
Wo nie der Schnee vergeht,
Doch ew'ger Frühling weht!"

 ... 

Note: in modern German spelling, "Thale" is "Tale".
