by Otto Friedrich Gruppe (1804 - 1876)

Im Walde rollt der Wagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Walde [rollt]1 der Wagen
[Bei tiefer stiller Nacht;]2
Die Passagiere schlafen,
Der Postillion fährt sacht.

Bei'm Försterhaus im Walde
Was bläst der Postillion?
Die Passagiere erwachen
Und meinen, es [wäre]3 Station.

Er bläst so sanfte Lieder
Zum Fenster klar empor,
Es hallt der Wald sie wieder,
Und kommt der Mond hervor.

Ja scheine Mond in's Fenster
[Des Liebchens hold herein:]4
Da zieht durch ihre Träume
Posthorn und [Mondenschein]5.
