by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Language: German (Deutsch)
In dem Mondenschein im Wald, Sah ich jüngst die Elfen reiten; Ihre Hörner hört' ich klingen, Ihre Glöcklein hört' ich läuten. Ihre weißen Rößlein trugen Goldnes Hirschgeweih und flogen Rasch dahin, wie wilde Schwäne Kam es durch die Luft gezogen. Lächelnd nickte mir die Kön'gin, Lächelnd, im Vorüberreiten. Galt das meiner neuen Liebe, Oder soll es Tod bedeuten?
