Mir brennt eine Flamme
 (Sung text for setting by J. Rheinberger)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mir brennt eine Flamme im Herzen tief,
im Herzen das einst so ruhig schlief,
wo ist seine Ruhe hin?
Ich schau empor zu der Sonne Glanz,
ich blick in der Sterne still wandelnden Kranz,
die dürfen so schmerzlos glühn.

Die Glut der Sonne, sie kommt zur Ruh -
Glut meiner Seele, wachst ewig du?
Es schlafen die Sterne ein.
Es schlummert des Mondes süß zaub'risch Licht;
sie alle ruhen, nur eine nicht:
Die Flamme im Herzen mein.

Composition:

    Set to music by Joseph (Gabriel) Rheinberger (1839 - 1901), "Mir brennt eine Flamme", JWV. 136 no. 2 [ mezzo-soprano and piano ], from Neun Lieder, no. 2
