Schöne Fremde Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es rauschen die Wipfel und schauern, Als machten zu dieser Stund' Um die halbversunkenen Mauern Die alten Götter die Rund'. Hier hinter den Myrtenbäumen In heimlich dämmernder Pracht, Was sprichst du wirr wie in Träumen Zu mir, phantastische Nacht? Es funkeln auf mich alle Sterne Mit glühendem Liebesblick, Es redet trunken die Ferne Wie vom künftigem, großem Glück!
