by Thelyma Nelly Helene Branco (1818 - 1894), as Dilia Helena

Das Glockenspiel (Vorspiel)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Das Glockenspiel der Fantasie
Hat Zauber, hat die Harmonie.
Es singt der Seele ihr Geleit
Umschmeichelnd von Unsterblichkeit.
Indes verstand die rohe Welt
In schwerem Lauf der Schläge fällt.
Sie band den Menschen an das Gold
Und spricht nur von Vergänglichkeit.
Das Glockenspiel der Fantasie
Hat Zauber, hat die Harmonie
Es singt der Seele ihr Geleit
Umschmeichelnd von Unsterblichkeit.
