Das Waldschloß See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wo noch kein Wandrer gegangen, Hoch über Jäger und Roß Die Felsen abendrot hangen Als wie ein Wolkenschloß. Dort zwischen Zinnen und Spitzen Von wilden Nelken umblüht Die schönen Waldfrauen sitzen Und singen im Wind ihr Lied. Der Jäger schaut nach dem Schlosse; "Die droben, das ist mein Lieb". Er sprang vom schäumenden Rosse - Weiß keiner, wo er blieb.
