Lüstern flüstern die Zweige
 (Sung text for setting by A. Wallnöfer)
 See base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lüstern flüstern die Zweige,
Lenzhauch küsst die Natur;
Schwellendes Sehnen im Herzen,
Was willst du nur?

Träumst du von rosigen Wangen,
Süsser, verschwiegener Lust?
Bebst du in sel'gem Verlangen,
Wonniger Brust?

Feuer schlagen zusammen 
Um den trunkenen Sinn, 
und in heiligen Flammen 
wandl' ich dahin.

Note: the text above is Georg Schumann's sung text.
