by Johann Nepomuk Vogl (1802 - 1866)

Ei wie die Brünnlein rauschen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Ei wie die Brünnlein rauschen,
Die Brünnlein nah und fern; --
Es scheint auf sie zu lauschen
Am Himmel Mond and Stern. --
Das ist ein süßes Klingen,
Ein Klingen allerwärts, --
Als wär's, um Trost zu bringen
In's arme Menschenherz.

  Wie horch ich euch so gerne
Ihr lieben Brünnlein zu,
Wenn über euch die Sterne
Und um euch Nacht und Ruh', --
Die Stunden floh'n, die herben,
Es schweigt ein jeder Drang.
Ich möcht' am liebsten sterben
Bei eurem süßen Klang.
