by Ernst Eckstein (1845 - 1900)

Die Vogel träumen im Flieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Vogel träumen im Flieder,
Entschlummert ist Hütte und Schloß --
Nun steig' vom Walle hernieder
Und schwinge Dich auf mein Roß!

Es trägt uns durch schweigende Auen
Zum Horst wie ein flüchtender Aar.
Der Mond nur leuchtet vom Blauen
Dem sündigen Liebespaar.
