by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Im kühlen Schatten, auf sonnigen Höh'n
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im kühlen Schatten, auf sonnigen Höh'n
Wie blüht ihr Blümlein so wunderschön!
Euch hat ein Engel so reicht bemalt,
Dass ihr in Farben des Himmels strahlt.

O lasst euch pflücken, die Sonne glüht;
Ihr seid am Abend [ja]1 doch verblüht.
Der kranken Mutter bring ich den Strauß,
Trag ihr den Frühling ins stille Haus.

[Im kühlen Schatten, auf sonnigen Höhn,]2
[Wie blüht ihr Blümlein so wunderschön!]1
Nun freu dich wieder, mein Mütterlein,
Dich heilen Blumen und Sonnenschein!
