by Johann Martin Hutterus (1810 - 1865)

Ich lieg' im Grase hingestreckt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich lieg' im Grase hingestreckt, 
Umwogt von grünen Halmen,
Die Lerche jauchzt zum Himmel auf
Die hellen Morgenpsalmen.

O Lerche, nimm mein leidvoll Herz
Auf deine leichten Flügel,
Und trag' es hoch, und trag' es weit
Wol über Thal und Hügel.

Und halt' es hin dem Sonnenstrahl,
Und halt' es hin den Lüften,
Daß seine Rosen wiederum,
Die welken, blüh'n und düften.

Lehr' mich ein Lied, deß' Klang durchdringt 
Die Wälder und die Haine, 
Ein Lied so fromm, ein Lied so frisch,
So fröhlich wie das deine.
