by Johann Baptist Mayrhofer (1787 - 1836)
Es träumen die Wolken
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es träumen die Wolken, Die Sterne, der Mond, Die Bäume, die Vögel, Die Blumen, der Strom. Sie wiegen, Und schmiegen Sich tiefer zurück, Zum thauigen Bette, Zur ruhigen Stätte, Zum heimlichen Glück. Doch Blättergesäusel Und Wellengekräusel Verkünden Erwachen. Denn ewig geschwinde, Unruhige Winde, Sie stören und fachen. Erst schmeichelnde Regung, Dann wilde Bewegung; Und dehnende Räume Verschlingen die Träume. Im Busen, im reinen, Bewahre die deinen; Es ströme dein Blut: Vor rasenden Stürmen Besonnen zu schirmen Die heilige Gluth.

Notes:
In stanza 1, lines 8 and 9 are switched in the first pass but not in the repetition.
In stanza 1, line 16, the Schubert edition referred to as the Alte Gesamtausgabe erroneously changes "stören, sie" to "stöhnen, sie" (see footnote 1 below).
