Písně soumraku

by Josef Bohuslav Foerster (1859 - 1951)

1. Lieben  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und wie mag die Liebe dir kommen sein?
Kam sie wie ein Sonnen, ein Blütenschein,
Kam sie wie ein Beten? -- Erzähle:

Ein Glück löste leuchtend [aus Himmeln]1 sich los
Und hing mit gefalteten Schwingen groß
An meiner blühenden Seele.
