Unter blühenden Bäumen

Unter blühenden Bäumen
Hab' bei schweigender Nacht
Ich in seligen Träumen
Dein, du Holde, gedacht.

Duftend streute die Linde
Blüten nieder zu mir;
Schmeichelnd kosten die Winde
Wie ein Grüßen von dir.

Und ein himmlisches Singen
Schien vom Sternengezelt
Leise hernieder zu klingen
Durch die schlafende Welt.

by Otto Franz Gensichen (1874-1933)
