by Arthur Heinrich Wilhelm Fitger (1840 - 1909)

In Eis erstarrt mein Herze lag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
In Eis erstarrt 
mein Herze lag,
So kalt, so hart 
seit Jahr und Tag.

Seit Jahr und Tag 
erhub kein Schlag 
Mit lieblichen Wiegen 
des Busens Erz;
Ich habe geschwiegen 
von meinem Schmerz.

Nun aber bricht's 
mit Sturm herein;
O Macht des Licht's! 
O Sonnenschein!
O Sonnenschein 
Der Sieg ist dein!

Die berstenden Schollen,
Stoss auf Stoss,
Sie wirbeln und rollen
vom Herzen los.

Vertrübter Sinn,
verjährter Zorn,
Schmelzt hin, schmelzt hin;
schon weckt den Born,

Lebendigen Born,
Des Frühlings Horn,
Und fortgezogen 
in schäumender Lust
Durchwandelt, ihr Wogen 
der Liebe, die Brust.
