by Adolf Böttger (1815 - 1870)

Du ruhest unter dem Lindenbaum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du ruhest unter dem Lindenbaum,
Der steht in goldner Blüte,
Und Engel wandeln durch den Raum
Und durch Dein fromm Gemüthe.

Du träumest unter dem Lindenbaum,
Der haucht süßduftigen Segen,
Und streut in Deinen lichten Traum
Den blühenden Sternenregen.

Am Busen liegt Dir, der Liebe Stern,
Ein Röslein mit hellen Tropfchen,
Wie an Maria's Brust des Herrn
Frommblickendes Engelsköpfchen.

Und droben über dem Lindenbaum
Aus klarem Himmelslichte
Webt eine Lerch' in Deinen Traum
Unsterbliche Gedichte!
