by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Wanderlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Flatternde Lüfte! was zieht ihr um's Haus? 
Merk's wohl, ihr möchtet mich locken heraus!
Dank euch! schon greife zum Stock ich und Hut: 
Wandern, so froh macht's und frisch ja das Blut!

  Lustige Vögel! aus luftigem Reich 
Grüßt ihr mit schmetterndem Jubel mich gleich! 
Sangen so oft schon zusammen im Tann, 
Heut' auch laßt sehen, wer's froher wohl kann!

  Blühende Wipfel! und nickt ihr mir zu, 
O wie das wieget die Seele zur Ruh! 
Daß wie vor Zeiten ich selig mich freu', 
Und wie ein Kindlein bin glücklich auf's neu'!

  Sonnige Matten! so schimmernd, so grün! 
Hei! wie das Auge muß heiter da sprüh'n! 
Klar wie das Bächlein, das munter dort flieht, 
Frei wie das Wölklein, das eilig dort zieht! 

  Strahlende Berge! zu euch doch, zu euch 
Rastlos mich zieht es hinan durch's Gesträuch! 
Weithin zu schauen die duftige Pracht, 
Droben zu loben des Ewigen Macht!
