by Richard Volkmann (1830 - 1889), as Richard Leander

Ich fragte: Wie haben die Lieder all
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich fragte: Wie haben die Lieder all
In deiner Brust nur, o Lerche, Raum?
Wie trägst du auf deinem braunen Gezweig
Nur all die Blüten, o Apfelbaum?

Wie birgst du in deinem bescheid'nen Kelch,
O Veilchen, nur alle die Düfte lind?
Sie sprachen: Wie fasset die Liebe all
Dein kleines Herz nur, du Menschenkind?
