by Karl Egon Ebert (1801 - 1882)

Ermunterung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Vogel steigt, ein [verkörpertes]1 Lied,
hell klingend gen Himmel dahin [es ihn]2 zieht,
und selig wirbelt er in den Höh'n:
die Welt [ist]3 schön! 

Der Strahl des Morgens [erweckt]4 die Blum',
aufschließt sie ihr duftendes Heiligtum,
aus offenem Kelche die Düfte weh'n:
die Welt [ist]3 schön! 

Im flüssigen Silber, im schimmernden Bach,
eilt flüchtig die Welle der Welle nach;
sie netzen [das]5 Ufer mit sanftem Getön:
die Welt [ist]3 schön! 

Was stehst du, Mensch, mit finsterem Blick,
und schaust in die [finstere]6 Brust zurück?
O wolle den Jubel doch ringsum seh'n:
Die Welt ist so schön!
