Der Hirt blast seine Weise, Von fern ein Schuß noch fällt, Die Wälder rauschen leise Und Ströme tief im Feld. Nur hinter jenem Hügel Noch spielt der Abendschein - O hätt ich, hätt ich Flügel, Zu fliegen da hinein!
Confirmed with Joseph Freiherrn von Eichendorff, Gedichte, Berlin, Verlag von M. Simion, 1841, page 220.

Le berger joue à sa guise, Au loin on entend un coup de feu, Les forêts bruissent doucement, Ainsi que la rivière dans le champ. Seules derrière cette colline, Jouent encore les lueurs du soir – Ô que n'ai-je, que n'ai-je des ailes Pour voler jusque là-bas !
