by Elisa (Elisabeth) Charlotte Konstantia von der Recke (1756 - 1833)

Rundgesang im Freien
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Mit tausendfacher Schöne
begrüsst der Lenz die Flur:
O hört die frohen Töne
der jubelnden Natur!

Das Leben in den Teichen,
das Schwirren in der Luft!
Und was ist zu vergleichen
dir, milder Frühlingsduft?

Das Saatgewühl der Felder,
die lebensvolle Au,
das Laub der Schattenwälder,
besprengt vom Morgentau!

Du reiner Strahl der Sonne,
der durch das Waldgrün bebt,
und zu der hohen Wonne
des reinsten Friedens hebt.

Wenn Flimmerglanz der Sterne
die weite Abendwelt
der dunkelblauen Ferne
und meine Nacht erhellt:

was gleichet dem Entzücken,
das dann die Seel' umfängt,
wenn sie mit Hoffnungsblicken
am Sternenhimmel hängt?
