Der träumende See

Der See ruht tief 
im blauen Traum
von Wasserblumen zugedeckt.

Ihr Vöglein hoch im Fichtenbaum,
dass ihr mir nicht den Schläfer weckt!

Doch leise weht
das Schilf und wiegt das Haupt
das Haupt mit leichtem Sinn,

ein blauer Falter aber fliegt
darüber einsam hin.

by Julius Mosen (1803-1867)
