by Ludwig Heinrich Christoph Hölty (1748 - 1776)

Helle den Rasen, lieber Glühwurm, helle
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Helle den Rasen, lieber Glühwurm, helle
Diese wankenden Blumen, wo mein Mädchen
Abendschlummer schlummerte; wo ich ihre Träume belauschte.

Helle den Rasen, lieber Glühwurm, daß ich
Jede wankende Frühlingsblume küße,
Jedes Silberglöckchen des grünen Rasens Fülle mit Thränen!
