## The words

Wie lieblicher Klang! O Lerche!  
dein Sang, er hebt sich, er schwingt sich in  
Wonne.  
Du nimmst mich von hier, ich singe mit dir,  
wir steigen durch Wolken zur Sonne,  
wir steigen durch Wolken, wir steigen durch  
Wolken zur Sonne.  
O Lerche! du neigst dich nieder,  
du schweigst, du sinkst in die blühenden Auen.  
Ich schweige zumal und sinke zu Tal,  
ach!  
Tief in Moder und Grauen.
