Im Wald, im grünen Walde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Im Wald, im grünen Walde, da mag ich gerne sein, da schläft auf weichem Moose schnell jeder Kummer ein. Da kann [ich auch]1 vergessen, was mich [so]2 traurig macht, wenn durch die grünen Wipfel die gold'ne Sonne lacht. Und in den Himmel schaue ich g'raden Weg's hinein! Im schönen grünen Walde, da mag ich gerne sein.

The woodland
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Oh green and shady woodland, with thee I long to be, on mossy bank reclining, from ev'ry trouble free. The world is scarce remember'd when thro' the arching boughs the golden sun comes smiling and earth with joy o'erflows. And straightway into heaven my lifted eyes can see! Oh green and shady woodland, with thee I long to be.
From a Bohm score.
