by Carl Grüneisen (1802 - 1878)

Es war ein Wald von Tannen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es war ein Wald von Tannen, 
Die wölbten sich zum Dach; 
Da gingen wir zusammen 
Langsam den Andern nach. 

Da sprachen wir zusammen  --  
Wann war ich je so froh? 
Da sangen wir zusammen  --  
Wann sang ich wieder so? 

Da schauten wir einander 
So tief in's Aug' hinein; 
Und sollten nicht die Herzen 
Sich auch begegnet sein?
