by Johann Nepomuk Vogl (1802 - 1866)

Laß' mich ganz in dich versinken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Laß' mich ganz in dich versinken
Wald und in dein frisches Grün, 
Laß' mich deine Düfte trinken 
Aus den Blumen, die da blüh'n.

Wog' um mich mit Blattgeflüster, 
Labe mich mit Farb' und Schein, 
Und in dein geliebtes Düster 
Schließe deinen Sänger ein.

Deine Farben, deine Töne, 
Deine Schwermuth, deine Lust, 
Deinen Zauber, deine Schöne 
Senk', o Wald, in meine Brust.

Mögen einsam auch die Raben 
Krächzen dann auf nacktem Baum, 
Wirst doch du mich noch erlaben, 
Als ein schöner, süßer Traum.
