by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Am Teiche
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Du meine Wonne, du meine Freude, 
Fluthender Teich am wilden Gestäude! 
  Dunkelen Auges, siehst du mich nahn, 
Traut wie ein Märchen blickst du mich an!

  Lustige Wellen! ach, wie vor Zeiten 
Hör' ich euch singen, seh' ich euch gleiten; 
  Grünende Zweige, Blumen voll Gluth 
Zierlich euch bücken nieder zur Fluth!

  Nehmt sie die Sorgen, nehmt sie hinunter, 
Ei! wie das Herz gleich schlägt mir so munter! 
  Und was mich grämt noch, Wellen, zur Stund 
Laßt es versinken tief auf den Grund! 

  Du meine Wonne, du meine Freude, 
Fluthender Teich am wilden Gestäude! 
  Ja! wie voreinst noch, siehst du mich nahn, 
Heilend und tröstend blickst du mich an!

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, pages 63-64.
