by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Aus Erwin und Elmire
 (Sung text for setting by J. Reichardt)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mit vollen Athemzügen
Saug' ich, Natur, aus Dir
Ein schmerzliches Vergnügen.
Wie lebt,
Wie bebt,
Wie strebt
Das Herz in mir!

Freundlich begleiten
Mich Lüftlein gelinde.
Flohene Freuden
Ach, säuseln in Winde,
Fassen die bebende,
Die strebende Brust.
Himmlische Zeiten!
Ach, wie so geschwinde
Dämmert und blicket
Und schwindet die Luft!
