Die Liebe
 (Sung text for setting by A. Harder)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Beglückt, beglückt,
Wer dich erblickt,
Und deinen Himmel trinket;
Wem dein Gesicht
Voll Engellicht
Den Gruß des Friedens winket.

Ein süsser Blick,
Ein Wink, ein Nick,
Glänzt mir wie Frühlingssonnen;
Den ganzen Tag
Sinn' ich ihm nach,
Und schweb' in Himmelswonnen.

Dein holdes Bild
Führt mich so mild
An sanfter Blumenkette;
In meinem Arm
Erwacht es warm,
Und geht mit mir zu Bette.

Beglückt, beglückt,
Wer dich erblickt,
Und deinen Himmel trinket;
Wem dein Gesicht
Voll Engellicht
Den Gruß des Friedens winket.
