Liebeshoffnung

Song Cycle by John [Jacques] Jacobsson (1835 - 1909)

2. Die Welt ist so schön und der Himmel so blau  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Welt ist so schön und der Himmel so blau,
Und die Lüfte die wehen so lind und so lau,
Und die Blumen winken auf blühender Au,
Und funkeln und glitzern im Morgentau,
Und die Menschen jubeln, wohin ich schau, --
Und doch möcht ich im Grabe liegen,
Und mich an mein totes Liebchen schmiegen.
