by Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852)

Erde, fröhliche Erde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Erde, fröhliche Erde,
Warum schweigest du so? --
"Kann ich die Sonne nicht [sehen]1,
Werd' ich nimmer froh."
 
Wolken, schweifende Wolken,
Warum hemmt ihr den Flug? --
"Möchten die Sonne noch [sehen]1,
[Sehen]1 sie nimmer genug!"
 
Vögel, singende Vögel,
Warum klagt ihr so sehr? --
"Ach, uns're freundliche Sonne
Sehen wir lange nicht mehr!"

Herz, du mein armes Herze!
Hast ja dasselbe Leid:
Ach, deine freundliche Sonne
Ist ja so weit, so weit!
