by Barbara Elisabeth Glück (1814 - 1894), as Betty Paoli

An dem hellsten Sommertag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
An dem hellsten Sommertag,
Unter Zweigen lichtdurchbrochen.
Bei der Lerchen Jubelschlag
Hab' ich dich zuerst gesprochen.

Leise rauschend stand die Flur,
Lieblich murmelten die Bäche,
Daß es schien, als ob Natur
Über uns den Segen spräche.

Und so hab ich neuen Mut
Zu dem neuen Bund gewonnen;
Denn es steht in Gottes Hut,
Was in seinem Licht begonnen.
