Du holder Lenz
 (Sung text for setting by W. Humiston)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du holder Lenz, du Blütenduft,
du süßer Nachtigallenton,
du höchste Lust, du tiefstes Leid,
du heilig hehrer Himmelsklang,
dich lieb' ich, lieb' ich inniglich.
Blick' ich ins tiefe Auge dir,
hält mich dein Arm umschlungen fest,
und überläuft's im glüh'nden Kuss
mit leisem Schauer mir den Leib,
dann fehlet jeglich Wort dem Mund,
als nur zu rufen immerdar:
Du holder Lenz, du Blütenduft,
du süßer Nachtigallenton,
du höchste Lust, du tiefstes Leid,
du heilig hehrer Himmelsklang,
dich lieb' ich, lieb' ich inniglich.

    Set to music by William Henry Humiston (1869 - 1923), "Du holder Lenz", published 1911 [ voice and piano ], New York: Breitkopf und Härtel, also set in English
