by Friedrich Wilhelm Krampitz (1790 - 1859)

Eine Stimme suchte sich die Freude
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Eine Stimme suchte sich die Freude,
Leicht geflügelt tönet nun der Scherz,
Laute lieh die Tonkunst hier dem Leide,
Dort dem stummen namenlosen Schmerz. 
Und in lieblichen Akkorden klangen
Hoffnung, Liebe, Sehnsucht und Verlangen,
Und veredelt ward die Leidenschaft
Durch der Tonkunst laut're Götterkraft.
