Die Peri tritt mit schüchterner Gebärde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Tenor-Solo
Die Peri tritt mit schüchterner Gebärde
Vor Edens Tor,
Im Herzen Himmelshoffnungsglück:
Ob sich die Pforte öffnen werde,
Sie fragt's mit stummem Liebesblick.
Der Engel
Gern grüßen wir, die so gegangen
Den Heldentod fürs Vaterland.
Doch sieh, noch weicht der eh'rne Riegel nicht
Viel heil'ger muß die Gabe sein,
Die dich zum Tor des Lichts läßt ein!
Engel-Chor
Viel heil'ger muß die Gabe sein,
Die dich zum Tor des Lichts läßt ein!
