Das Waldschloß
 (Sung text for setting by F. Mendelssohn)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT CAT DUT ENG FRE
Und 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.
