by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Ziehn die Schafe von der Wiese
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ziehn die Schafe von der Wiese,
Liegt sie da, ein reines Grün,
Aber bald zum Paradiese
Wird sie bunt geblümt erblühn.

Hoffnung breitet lichte Schleier
Nebelhaft vor unsern Blick:
Wunscherfüllung, Sonnenfeier,
Wolkenteilung bring uns Glück.
