Waldsehnsucht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Blauer Himmel, laue Lüfte,
Waldesruhe, Waldestraum,
Waldesrauschen, Waldesdüfte,
all' die Wonnen fass' ich kaum!

Banges Hoffen, stilles Ahnen,
süßes Schauern, linder Schmerz,
leises Flüstern, leises Mahnen
ruft mich sehnend wälderwärts.

In dem Walde, auf den Matten,
in dem Grunde still und kühl,
in der Eichen dichtem Schatten
folget mir kein Weltgewühl.

Und das Jauchzen und das Schwirren
und das Sprossen und das Blüh'n
und das Kosen und das Girren
lässt den Busen heiß erglüh'n.

Durch das Dickicht will ich dringen,
durchs Gebirg 'ne Wand'rung tun,
mit den Vögeln will ich singen,
mit dem Wilde will ich ruh'n!

An dem Bache will ich lauschen,
lauschen auf der grünen Flur,
will zum Gotte mich berauschen
in den Wonnen der Natur!
