Schwabenserenade eines Hinterweltlers

 [incomplete]

Song Cycle by Sergio Vesely (b. 1952)

16. Frage und Antwort  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Fragst du mich, woher die bange
Liebe mir zum Herzen kam,
Und warum ich ihr nicht lange
Schon den [bittern]1 Stachel nahm?

Sprich, warum mit Geisterschnelle
Wohl der Wind die Flügel rührt,
Und woher die süße Quelle
Die verborgnen Wasser führt?

Banne du auf seiner Fährte
Mir den Wind in vollem Lauf!
Halte mit der Zaubergerte
Du die süßen Quellen auf!
