Hör es klagt die Flöte wieder
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Hör]1 es klagt die Flöte wieder Und die kühlen [Brunnen]2 rauschen, Golden wehn die Töne nieder, Stille, [stille]3, laß uns lauschen! Holdes Bitten, mild Verlangen, [Wie es süß zum Herzen spricht]4! Durch die Nacht die mich umfangen, Blickt zu mir der Töne Licht.
