by Josef Karl Benedikt von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
Da fahr' ich still im Wagen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Da fahr' ich still im Wagen, Du bist so weit von mir, Wohin er mich mag tragen, Ich bleibe doch bei dir. Da fliegen Wälder, Klüfte Und schöne Täler tief Und Lerchen hoch in Lüften, Als ob dein' Stimme rief. Die Sonne lustig scheinet Weit über das Revier, Ich bin so froh verweinet, Und singe still in mir. Vom Berge geht's hinunter, Das Posthorn schallt im Grund, Mein' Seel' wird mir so munter, Grüß' dich aus Herzensgrund.
