by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Das grüne Wunder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Mein Birkenhain stand weiß und kahl,
Die dünnen Stämmchen fror,
Da kam April und zauberte
Das Leben grün hervor.

Mit einem Schleier angethan
Steht nun mein Birkenhain;
Das grüne Wunder ist geschehn,
Nun laßt uns gläubig sein.

Nun laßt uns glauben wiederum,
Daß Leben Schönheit heißt:
Mein Birkicht ist ein Zauberwald,
In dem das Wunder kreißt.
