Die Entzückung
 (Sung text for setting by F. Mozart)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Welch ein Himmel! Juliane wallet
Durch den überreiften Lindengang!
Horchet! Aus den toten Wipfeln schallet
Überirdischer Gesang.

Alles muß sich, wo sie wandelt, heitern!
Blumen sprossen, und der West erwacht,
Blumen wanken unter grünen Kräutern,
Alles freut sich, alles lacht.

Sie verlässt, mir einen Gruß zu nicken,
Mich zum Gott zu lächeln, ihren Hain.-
Gießt ein Engel heiliges Entzücken
Durch mein zitterndes Gebein?
