Die Zauberharfe

Song Cycle by Franz Peter Schubert (1797 - 1828)

8a. Romanze
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was belebt die schöne Welt?
Liebe nur verschafft ihr Leben,
Nur der Liebe Strahlen geben
Helles Licht dem Schattenfeld.

Klagend trauert die Natur,
Fühlt sie nicht der Liebe Wonne,
Liebe ist der Welten Sonne,
Sie erquicket Hain und Flur.

Angelacht von ihrem Blick,
Jubeln Erde, Luft und Meere -
Holde Liebe, dir sei Ehre,
Spendest ewig Lebensglück.
