Die Bäume, sie tropfen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Die Bäume, sie tropfen Vom Regen [zu]1 Nacht. Die Tropfen, sie klopfen Die Schultern mir sacht. Und zwischen durch schimmert Die Sonne herein, [Daß]2 Alles da flimmert Wie Edelgestein. O liebliches Flüstern, O seliger Hauch! Ihr Augen, ihr düstern, So perlet nun auch! Heraus nur, du Sehnen, Aus klopfender Brust! [Stürz' nieder in Thränen]3, Du quälende Lust! O Tropfen, so glühend Und labend! Es strahlt In jeglichem blühend Die liebe Gestalt. [Von saftigem]4 Triebe Quillt mächtig das Herz, Und springet vor Liebe, Und [jubelt]5 vor Schmerz.
