by (Karl) Ludwig Pfau (1821 - 1894)

O Berg! von deinem Gipfel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Berg! von deinem Gipfel,
[Wie]1 schau' ich da so gern
Hoch über alle Wipfel
In die weite, blaue Fern'! 

Da kommt ein leises Wehen
Von fremden Ländern her --
O könnt' ich ganz verstehen
Die wunderschöne Mär!

Sie sagt wie Meere träumen 
In Abendsonnenglut,
Und unter Palmenbäumen 
Ein [ewiger]2 Frühling ruht.
