by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825 - 1898)

Vor der Ernte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
[An wolkenreinem]1 Himmel geht
Die blanke Sichel schön,
Im Korne drunter wogt und weht
Und rauscht und wühlt der Föhn.

Sie wandert voller Melodie
Hochüber durch das Land,
Früh morgen schwingt die Schnittrin sie
Mit sonnenbrauner Hand.
