by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Zauberkreis
 (Sung text for setting by H. Esser)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT
Was steht denn auf den hundert Blättern
Der Rose all?
Was sagt denn tausendfaches Schmettern
Der Nachtigall?

Auf allen Blättern steht, was stehet
Auf einem Blatt;
Aus jedem Liede weht, was gewehet
Im ersten hat:

Daß Schönheit in sich selb' beschrieben
Hat einen Kreis,
Und keinen andern auch das Lieben
Zu finden weiss.

Drum kreist um sich mit hundert Blättern
Die Rose all,
Und um sie tausendfaches Schmettern
Der Nachtigall.
