by Johann Nepomuk Vogl (1802 - 1866)

Waldes‑Trost
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nähret Unmuth deine Seele,
[Flüchte]1 nur zum grünen Wald,
Was dich für ein Kummer quäle,
Findest da die Tröstung bald.

Schlingt die hoffnungsgrünen Arme
Er nur recht um dich mit Lust,
Liegst du bald, befreit vom Harme,
Wie ein Kind an Mutterbrust.

Manch' ein Leid hat mir geheilet 
Freundlich schon der grüne Wald, 
D'rum hinaus nur, unverweilet, 
Auch das deine heilt er bald.
