Kling!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
Kling!...
Meine Seele gibt reinen Ton.
Und ich wähnte die Arme
Von dem wütenden Harme
Wilder Zeiten zerrissen schon.

Sing!
Meine Seele, den Beichtgesang
Wiedergewonnener Fülle!
Hebe vom Herzen die Hülle!
Heil dir, geläuterter Innenklang!

Kling!
Meine Seele, dein Leben, 
Quellendes, frisches Gebild!
Blühendes hat sich begeben
Auf dem verdorrten Gefild.
