Im Walde
 (Sung text for setting by J. Schelb)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Hier an der Bergeshalde
Verstummet ganz der Wind;
Die Zweige hängen nieder,
Darunter sitzt das Kind.

Sie sitzt in Thymiane,
Sie sitzt in lauter Duft;
Die blauen Fliegen summen
Und blitzen durch die Luft.

Es steht der Wald so schweigend,
Sie schaut so klug darein;
Um ihre braunen Locken
Hinfließt der Sonnenschein.

Der Kuckuck lacht von ferne,
Es geht mir durch den Sinn:
Sie hat die goldnen Augen
Der Waldeskönigin.

Composition:

    Set to music by Josef Schelb (1894 - 1977), "Im Walde", from 5 Lieder nach Gedichten von Theodor Storm, no. 2
