by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Der Wanderer im Walde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Unter den grünen Zweigen 
wandr’ ich so gern dahin;
heiter ist meine Seele,
fröhlich mein Herz und Sinn.

Frei mit den freien Vögeln 
sing' ich mein Lied empor.
Lustig des Windes Hauche
stimmen darein als Chor.

Selber die grünen Zweige 
singen gar munter mit --
o durch den Wald so gerne
wandr' ich mit frohem Schritt!

Confirmed with Der Chorgesang. Centralblatt für Instrumentalmusik, Chor- und Sologesang, VII. Jahrgang (1893), Nro. 14 (Leipzig, 15. April 1893), page 316.
