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

Mir immer wieder unbegreiflich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Mir immer wieder unbegreiflich,
Wenn ich in meinem Dorfe geh'
Und plötzlich unter goldnem Maien
Am Bach ein wildes Dirnlein seh' --
Dann denk ich gleich,
Das muss doch rein
Vom Himmel niederfallen sein.

Und wenn dazu die Amsel singt,
Der schwarze Vogel im Blütenweiß,
Und ich der wilden Dirne breche
Vom Busch ein blaues Fliederreis --
Dann denk ich gleich,
Ich muss doch rein
Vom Himmel niederfallen sein.
