by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Das ist der alte Märchenwald!
 (Sung text for setting by H. von Herzogenberg)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das ist der alte Märchenwald!
Es duftet die Lindenblüte!
Der wunderbare Mondenglanz
Bezaubert mein Gemüte. 

Ich ging fürbaß, und wie ich ging,
Erklang es in der Höhe.
Das ist die Nachtigall, sie singt
Von Lieb' und Liebeswehe.

Sie singt von Lieb' und Liebesweh,
Von Tränen und von Lachen,
Sie jubelt so traurig, sie schluchzet so froh,
Vergessene Träume erwachen. --

 ...
