Waldesgruß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich grüße dich, du grüner Wald
mit deinen stolzen Eichen!
Wenn dir mein frohes Lied erschallt.
schnell Gram und Kummer weichen.

Nur Lust hebt hier die Seele mir,
schwebt wie auf Ätherschwingen!
Mein schönstes Lied, ich weih' es dir,
nur dir soll es erklingen.

O Waldeslust, o Waldesgrün,
wie labst du Herz und Sinne!
In deine Arme will ich flieh'n,
dass Frieden ich gewinne.

Auf deine Sprache will ich lauschen,
bald werd' ich sie versteh'n,
doch höre ich nicht mehr dein Rauschen,
dann will ich gern vergeh'n.
