Liebesglück

(Sung text for setting by J. Sucher)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Wenn still mit seinen letzten Flammen
Der Abend in das Meer versank,
Dann wandeln wir traulich zusammen
Am Ufer durch den Buchengang.

Wir sehn den Mond aus Wolken steigen,
Wir hören fern die Nachtigall,
Wir atmen Düfte, doch wir schweigen -
Was soll der Worte leerer Schall?

Das höchste Glück hat keine Lieder,
Der Liebe Lust ist still und mild;
Ein Kuß, ein Blicken hin und wieder,
Und alle Sehnsucht ist gestillt.

Composition:

Josef Sucher
