Liebesrausch
 (Sung text for setting by B. Randhartinger)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Dir, Mädchen, schlägt mit leisem Beben
Mein Herz voll Treu und Liebe zu.
In Dir, in Dir versinkt mein Streben,
Mein schönstes Ziel bist Du!
Dein Name nur in heil'gen Tönen
Hat meine kühne Brust gefüllt,
Im Glanz des Guten und des Schönen
Strahlt mir Dein hohes Bild.

Die Liebe sproßt aus zarten Keimen,
Und ihre Blüthen welken nie!
Du, Mädchen, lebst in meinen Träumen
Mit süßer Harmonie.
Begeist'rung rauscht auf mich hernieder,
Kühn greif ich in die Saiten ein,
Und alle meine schönsten Lieder,
Sie nennen Dich allein.

Mein Himmel glüht in Deinen Blicken,
An Deiner Brust mein Paradies.
Ach, alle Reitze, die Dich schmücken,
Sie sind so hold, so süß.
Es wogt die Brust in Freud' und Schmerzen,
Nur eine Sehnsucht lebt in mir,
Nur ein Gedanke hier im Herzen:
Der ew'ge Drang nach Dir.
