Blauer Himmel, blaue Wogen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Blauer Himmel, blaue Wogen, Rebenhügel um den See, Drüber blauer Berge Bogen Schimmernd weiß im reinen Schnee. Wie der Kahn uns hebt und wieget, Leichter Nebel steigt und fällt, Süßer Himmelsfriede lieget Über der beglänzten Welt. Stürmend Herz, tu auf die Augen, Sieh umher und werde mild: Glück und Friede magst du saugen Aus des Doppelhimmels Bild. Spiegelnd sieh die Flut erwidern Turm und Hügel, Busch und Stadt, Also spiegle du in Liedern, Was die Erde Schönstes hat.
