by Karl Ferdinand von Dräxler-Manfred (1806 - 1879)

Rätselhaft
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Frühling ist herangekommen;
wer weiß es wie?
Die Herzen werden tief beklommen:
wer weiß es wie?
Die Nachtigall singt Lenzesgruß:
Woher hat sie dies Lied genommen?
Wer weiß es wie?
Die Blüten neigen sich zum Kuss,
sie sind in Strahl und Duft entglommen:
wer weiß es wie?
Hinab zieht seine Bahn der Fluss,
bald sind die Wellen fort geschwommen:
wer weiß es wie?
Und du mein Herz, da Lusterguss
und Liebe dein sich angenommen,
wer weiß es wie?
Ergieb dich treu dem Vollgenuss!
Frag nicht, wie alles dies gekommen?
Wer weiß es wie?
