by Theodor, Baron von der Osten-Sacken-Dondangen
Translation

Die Lerche
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Lerche steiget im Gesang,
zieht hinauf zu blauen Räumen,
und wie frisch die Blüthen keimen,
tönt ihr Lied.

Reich entfaltet strömt's herab.
Oben, oben ist Gesanges Leben,
würde sie nicht dahin streben,
schwieg ihr Lied.

Im Gesange zieht sie fort,
nimmt aus freier Luft die Lieder,
giebt sie froh der Erde wieder.
Dichtersinn!
