by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Gottes Nähe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es glüht die Flur, es glänzt der Hain,
Dampf wallt am Bergeskamme; 
Welch Farbenspiel, welch heller Schein, 
Als säh' ich Flamm' auf Flamme! 

Vom Himmel strömt des Lichtes Flut 
Herab in Strahlenwellen; 
Die Sträucher sind voll Scharlachglut, 
Es knospt an tausend Stellen. 

Ich stehe andachtvoll von fern
Alswie vor Opfertischen,
Mir ist, als säh' ich Gott den Herrn 
In diesen Feuerbüschen.

Confirmed with Julius Altmann, Lieder und Sprüche aus den Jahren 1860 bis 1868, Zweiter Band, Berlin: Verlag von W. Moeser, [no year], page 197.
