by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

O frisches Grün, o frisches Grün
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  O frisches Grün, o frisches Grün
Auf Wiesen und im Walde! 
Ihr Blüthen licht mit süßem Duft,
Wie heilt ihr doch so balde! 

  O Himmelsdom, o Himmelsdom,
So tiefblau, du hochoben!
Ich schau nach dir, und ahn' es süß,
Wie schön es ist da droben!

  So seltsam still, so seltsam still!
Nur Vöglein leise singen;
So kann mir aus der tiefen Brust
Nur leises Beten dringen. 

  Du Vöglein dort, du Vöglein dort!
Was hörst du auf zu schlagen?
Willst mein Gebet, dem du gelauscht,
Vor Gott, den Herren, tragen?
