Das Rosenband Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)
Im Frühlingsschatten fand ich Sie; Da band ich Sie mit Rosenbändern: Sie fühlt' es nicht und schlummerte. Ich sah Sie an; mein Leben hing Mit diesem Blick' an ihrem Leben: Ich fühlt' es wohl, und wußt' es nicht. Doch lispelt' ich Ihr sprachlos zu, Und rauschte mit den Rosenbändern: Da wachte Sie vom Schlummer auf. Sie sah mich an; Ihr Leben hing Mit diesem Blick' an meinem Leben, Und um uns ward's Elysium.
