Sonnensegen

O Sonnensegen, o Fichtenduft!
O Moos wie Samt und Seide!
Ich wirble meinen Hut in die Luft
und weine vor lauter Freude!

Ich kann mich fassen und halten kaum,
kann mich nicht halten und fassen,
umarmen möcht' ich den blinkenden Baum
glückselig über die Maßen!

by Karl Friedrich Henckell (1864-1929)
