Durch schwankende Wipfel
Language: German (Deutsch)
Durch schwankende Wipfel Schießt [güldener]1 Strahl, Tief unter den Gipfeln Das [neblige]2 Tal. Fern hallt es [am]3 Schlosse, Das Waldhorn ruft, Es wiehern die Rosse In die Luft, in die Luft! Bald Länder und Seen [Durch]4 Wolkenzug Tief schimmernd zu sehen [In schwindelndem]5 Flug, Bald Dunkel wieder Hüllt Reiter und Roß, O [Lieb']6, o Liebe [So]7 laß mich los! - Immer weiter und weiter Die Klänge ziehn, Durch Wälder und Heiden Wohin, ach wohin? Erquickliche Frische, Süß-schaurige Lust! Hoch flattern die Büsche, Frei schlägt die Brust.
