by Clemens Maria Wenzeslaus von Brentano (1778 - 1842)
O kühler Wald
Language: German (Deutsch)
O kühler Wald, Wo rauschest du, In dem mein Liebchen geht? O Widerhall, Wo lauschest du, Der gern mein Lied versteht? O Widerhall, O sängst du ihr Die süßen Träume vor, Die Lieder all, O bring sie ihr, Die ich so früh verlor! Im Herzen tief, Da rauscht der Wald, In dem mein Liebchen geht, In Schmerzen schlief Der Widerhall, Die Lieder sind verweht. Im Walde bin Ich so allein, O Liebchen, wandre hier, Verschallet auch Manch Lied so rein, Ich singe andre dir!
J. Brahms sets stanzas 1, 3
