by Carl (Ferdinand Max) Hauptmann (1858 - 1921)

In den Wind – in den Wind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In den Wind – in den Wind 
      sing ich mein Lied. 
Frage nicht, frage nicht, 
      wohin es flieht.

Treiben Blüten, treiben 
      Liederseelen her, 
frage nicht, frage nicht, 
      woher?

Wer gäb Antwort je, 
      woher? wohin? 
Treibe selbst ein wehend 
      Lied dahin.

In den Wind – in den Wind, 
      kaum erwacht, 
bin verweht, bin verweht 
      über Nacht.
