by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Sehnsucht nach den Bergen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ihr Auen hoch oben 
im sonnigen Schein!
Da drüben, da droben
da möcht' ich wohl sein.

Ein Dörflein, das schwebet 
still über der Kluft,
als ob es nur webet
in Licht und in Luft.

Nach den sonnigen Auen 
da stehet mein Sinn, 
zum Dörflein im Blauen 
da zieht es mich hin.

Confirmed with Der Chorgesang. Centralblatt für Instrumentalmusik, Chor- und Sologesang, VII. Jahrgang (1893), Nro. 14 (Leipzig, 15. April 1893), page 316.
