Minnelied
 (Sung text for setting by A. Titl)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
In dunkler Laube flüstert
Ein Vöglein wie im Traum, 
Der Abend dämmert und düstert,
Nur Düfte geh'n im Raum. 

   O komm, mein Lieb, zum Garten,
   Erschein' und säume nicht,
   Du Stern mit deinem zarten
   Viellieben Angesicht! 

Der Himmel sel'ger Minne 
Senkt sich herab und naht,
Die Nacht mit mildem Sinne,
Verhüllt den Erdenpfad.

   O hab' ein süß Erbarmen
   Und lös' mein Herz von Pein  -- 
   Du Lieb, aus deinen Armen
   Geh' ich zum Himmel ein!
