In the garden at the seashore
Friedrich von Wickede
In the garden at the seashore
Stand primeval trees;
In their high tops
Are the birds hardly to be seen.
The trees with high tops
Rustle day and night;
The waves beat against the shore;
The birds sing softly.
This makes a music
So sweet, so sadly fearful,
It is like a song of lost Love
And endless yearning.
