by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
Übern Garten durch die Lüfte
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Übern]1 Garten durch die Lüfte Hört' ich Wandervögel ziehn, Das bedeutet Frühlingsdüfte, Unten fängt's schon an zu blühn. Jauchzen möcht' ich, möchte weinen, [Ist mir's]2 doch, als könnt's nicht sein! Alte Wunder wieder scheinen Mit dem [Mondesglanz]3 herein. Und der Mond, die Sterne sagen's, Und im [Träumen]4 rauscht's der Hain, Und die Nachtigallen schlagen's: [Sie ist deine, sie ist dein]5!
