by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

O Tannenbaum, du edles Reis
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der erste.
O Tannenbaum, du edles Reis,
Bist Sommer und Winter grün:
So ist auch meine Liebe,
Die grünet immerhin.

O Tannenbaum, doch kannst du nie
In Farben freudig blühn:
So ist auch meine Liebe,
Ach, ewig dunkelgrün.

Der zweite.
O Birke, die so heiter
Aus dunkeln Tannen glänzt
Und sich vor andrem Holze
Mit zarten Blättern kränzt,

Mein jugendliches Hoffen,
O Birke, gleicht es dir?
Du grünst so früh, so helle
Und neigst doch deine Zier.
