by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)
Fein Rößlein, ich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Fein Rößlein, ich Beschlage dich, Sei frisch und fromm, Und wieder komm! Trag deinen Herrn Stets treu dem Stern, Der seiner Bahn Hell glänzt voran. Bergab, bergauf Mach flinken Lauf, Leicht wie die Luft Durch Strom und Kluft! Trag auf dem Ritt Mit jedem Tritt Den Reiter du Dem Himmel zu! Nun Rößlein, ich Beschlage dich, Sei frisch und fromm, Und wieder komm!
R. Schumann sets stanzas 1-2, 4-5
