by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Kornblumen wind ich dir zum Kranz
 (Sung text for setting by E. Erdmann)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Kornblumen flecht' ich dir zum Kranz
Ins blonde Lockenhaar.
Wie leuchtet doch der blaue Glanz
Auf goldnem Grund so klar!

Der blaue Kranz ist meine Lust;
Er sagt mir stets auf's neu,
Wohl keine sei in tiefster Brust
Wie du, mein Kind, so treu.

Auch mahnt sein Himmelblau zugleich
Mich heimlich süßer Art,
Daß mir ein ganzes Himmelreich
In deiner Liebe ward.

Composition:

    Set to music by Eduard Erdmann (1896 - 1958), "Kornblumen wind ich dir zum Kranz" [ voice and piano ], confirmed with a CD booklet
