by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Geigenklänge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Müd' ist mein Licht und müd' mein Blick,
Mein Stüblein füllt beklomm'nes Schweigen;
Fernhin klingt spielende Musik:
Der Sang der Welt, der Klang der Geigen!

Und klingend zieht mir's durch das Herz:
Das Glück! -- wie ich dich einst gefunden
Und wie ich dich verlor -- der Schmerz! -
Wie glühen diese stillen Stunden!

Es flimmert feucht um meinen Blick,
Erinn'rung zieht den leisen Reigen;
Fernhin klingt spielende Musik:
Der Sang der Welt, der Klang der Geigen!
