by (Karl) Wolfgang Müller von Königswinter (1816 - 1873)

Ich zieh' so allein in den Wald hinein!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT FRE
Ich zieh' so allein in den Wald hinein!
O sieh zwei Falter fliegen!
Sie tummeln sich durch die Luft,
Und wenn sie ruh'n, so wiegen
Sie sich in der Blumen Duft,
Und ich bin so allein, voll Pein!

Ich zieh' so allein in den Wald hinein!
O sieh zwei Vöglein erschrocken
Entstieben dem warmen Nest!
Doch singen und suchen und locken
Sie hoch sich im Geäst,
Und ich bin so allein, voll Pein!

Ich zieh' so allein in den Wald hinein!
O sieh zwei Rehe zieh'n
An der grünen Halde zumal!
Und wie sie mich seh'n, entflieh'n
Sie fern in Berg und Tal,
Und ich bin so allein, voll Pein!
