by Hermann Rollett (1819 - 1904)
O Lust, o Lust, vom Berg ein Lied
Language: German (Deutsch)
O Lust, o Lust, vom Berg ein Lied In's Land hinabzusingen! Der kleinste Ton hinunterzieht, So wie auf Riesenschwingen! Der stillste Hauch aus lauter Brust, In Leid und Lust entrungen, Er wird zum Klange, unbewußt Für alle Welt gesungen. Es schwingt sich erd- und himmelwärts Der Seele klingend Sehnen, Und fällt der ganzen Welt an's Herz -- Ob freudig, ob in Thränen. Was still sonst nur die Brust durchzieht, Fliegt aus auf lauten Schwingen, -- O Lust, o Lust, vom Berg ein Lied In's Land hinabzusingen!
