by Friedrich von Matthisson (1761 - 1831)

Stimme der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Abendgewölke schweben hell
Am bepurpurten Himmel;
Hesperus schaut mit Liebesblick
Durch den blühenden Lindenhain,
Und sein prophetisches Trauerlied
Zirpt im Kraute das Heimchen!

Freuden der Liebe harren dein!
Flüstern leise die Winde;
Freuden der Liebe harren dein!
Tönt die Kehle der Nachtigall;
Hoch von dem Sternengewölb' herab
Hallt mir Stimme der Liebe!

Aus der Platanen Labyrinth
Wandelt Laura, die Holde!
Blumen entsprießen dem Zephyrtritt,
Und wie Sphärengesangeston
Bebt von den Rosen der Lippe mir
Süße Stimme der Liebe!

Confirmed with Gedichte von Friedrich von Matthisson. Erster Theil. Tübingen, bei Cotta, 1811, page 17; and with Friedrich von Matthisson, Gedichte, Zurich, Füssli, 1851, pages 21-22.
