Lied der Erde an die Sonne
 (Sung text for setting by W. Lang)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was war' ich ohne deine Liebe,
mein hoher Vater und Gemahl?
Du glühst mich an, und Berg und Tal
erschleußt dir seine schönsten Triebe.

Du glühst mich an, da werd' ich reich
und danke dir mit tausendfachem Glücke,
und meine Meere spiegeln dich zurücke
und ehren dich der Gottheit gleich!
