by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
Fliegt der erste Morgenstrahl
Language: German (Deutsch)
Fliegt der erste [Morgenstrahl]1 Durch das stille Nebeltal, Rauscht erwachend Wald und Hügel: Wer da fliegen kann, nimmt Flügel! Und sein Hütlein in die Luft Wirft der Mensch vor Lust und ruft: Hat Gesang doch auch noch Schwingen, Nun, so will ich fröhlich singen! Hinaus, o Mensch, weit in die Welt, Bangt dir das Herz in krankem Mut; Nichts ist so trüb in Nacht gestellt, Der Morgen leicht macht's wieder gut.
