by Ernst Gebhard Salomon Anschütz (1780 - 1861)

Auf dem grünen Rasen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf dem grünen Rasen,
Wo die Veilchen blühn, 
Geht mein Schäfchen grasen
In dem jungen Grün. 

Auf der grünen Weide
Froh mein Schäfchen springt,
Fühlt wie ich die Freude,
Die der Frühling bringt. 

Wo die Blümchen blinken
An der Quelle Saum,
Geht mein Schäfchen trinken, 
Schläft dann unterm Baum. 

Immer, Schäfchen, freue
Dich der Herrlichkeit,
Denn des Himmels Bläue
Währt oft kurze Zeit.
