by Friedrich Heinrich Karl, Freiherr de La Motte-Fouqué (1777 - 1843)

Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Singend zog auf seinem Rappen
  Wohl ein Graf den Berg hinan;
  Hinter ihm die muntern Knappen
  Stimmten viele Lieder an.
 
Eins begannen sie zu singen
  Von der Liebe süßem Schmerz:
  Wie er wunderlich mag dringen
  Durch den Panzer in das Herz;
 
Wie im wilden Schlachtgewimmel
  Und auf rauher Pilgerfahrt
  Der ersehnte Liebeshimmel
  Schöner nur sich offenbart;
 
Wie allgegenwärtig schaltet
  Liebchens süße Zaubermacht;
  Wie sich alles umgestaltet,
  Ob sie trauert, ob sie lacht.
 
Und es spricht auf seinem Rappen
  Still der Ritter vor sich hin:
  "Wie Ihr's scherzend singt, Ihr Knappen,
  Ach ist ernstlich mir zu Sinn!"
