Herzlaub. Drei Liebesgedichte für Stimme, Horn, Violoncello und Harfe

by Wendelin Bitzan (b. 1982)

1. Heimlich zur Nacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich habe dich gewählt
Unter allen Sternen.

Und bin wach -- eine lauschende Blume
Im summenden Laub.

Unsere Lippen wollen Honig bereiten,
Unsere schimmerden Nächte sind aufgeblüht.

An dem seligen Glanz deines Leibes
Zündet mein Herz seine Himmel an --

Alle meine Träume hängen an deinem Golde
Ich habe dich gewählt unter allen Sternen.
