In der Ferne

Will ruhen unter den Bäumen hier,
Die Vögelein hör' ich so gerne,
Wie singet ihr so zum Herzen mir?
Von unsrer Liebe was wisset ihr
In dieser weiten Ferne?

Will ruhen hier an des Baches Rand,
Wo duftige Blümlein sprießen.
Wer hat euch Blümlein hierher gesandt?
Seid ihr ein herzliches Liebespfand
Aus der Ferne von meiner Süßen?

by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787-1862) , "In der Ferne", from Lieder, in Wanderlieder, no. 3, published 1806
