Joseph Freih Eichendorff

1788-1857 / Germany

A vivid ride

Like blue breeze is mildly flowing
Springtime, springtime carrying in
Woodsbound a horn sound's blowing
Its brave eyes boldly shine.
More and more colorful is the whirl
Like a magic wild flash,
Far to beauty world rolls like a girl
And lures that river's splash.

And I won't dig my heels in
May the wind takes me out
On that stream I'd like to sail
Dazzled by its blissful light.
Thousand voices entice together
Over me fiery Auroras glow.
Let's go! The journey's end
I don't want to know.
