by Robert Eduard Prutz (1816 - 1872)

Liebessegen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Horch, mit leisen Flügelschlagen
Flüsternd naht die Musen sich: 
Liebe, ja, das ist dein Segen,
Deine Schwingen fächeln mich!
Aus des Lebens niedern Kreisen,
Wo das Herz sich selbst verlor,
In melodisch süßen Weisen
Tragen sie mich sanft empor.

Flattert, flattert, liebe Lieder,
Meiner Küsse goldne Saat!
Fallt wie Blütenschnee hernieder
Auf der heißgeliebten Pfad!
Rasch, mit zärtlichem Erglühen,
Zieht sie euch ans Herz herauf;
Aus des Liebes Knospe blühen
Sel'ge Wirklichkeiten auf!
