Frühlingsregen See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Steig' hernieder, Frühlingsregen, Löse die Gefangenschaft. Der Natur, die still entgegen Dir sich sehnt aus ihrer Haft. Brich die stärken Eisesketten Die um uns der Winter schlug, Schwelle Ström' in ihren Betten Und der Nymphe füll' den Krug. Säus'le milder, rausche stärker, Goldner! brich das eh'rne Schloß. Danaë ist hier im Kerker! Steig' herab in ihren Schloß!
