Weiße Lilie, meine Lilie
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Polish (Polski)
Weiße Lilie, meine Lilie, einsam traurig weil ich hier; nach dem Garten, wo du blühest, send' ich tausend Grüße dir. Ohne dich, o meine Blume, trübt sich meines Auges Schein, fern von dir, o meine Blume, träum ich nur von dir allein. Trübt die Sehnsucht mir das Auge, trübt sich doch die Seele nicht, nur verklärter flammt sie leuchtend in der Liebe reinstem Licht.
