Language: German (Deutsch)

In des Südens heißen Zonen
Blumen giebt es köstlich schön.
Eine aber ist vor allen
Wunderherrlich anzuseh'n.

In dem blendend weißen Kelche
Eine Taube dich entzückt,
Und der fromme Christenwand'rer
Andachtsvoll die Blume pflückt.

Spirito santo ist ihr Name,
Spirito santo, weicher Klang,
Spirito Santo, Himmelsblume,
Dufte lieblich meinem Sang!

Spirito santo, sonnumstrahlet,
Blühest rein, wie ein Gebet!
Süßer, leiser Friedersodem,
Schöne Blume, dich umweht.

Still in deinem weißen Kelche,
Spirito santo, weilt die Ruh';
Leise flüstre, Spirito santo,
Meinem Herzen Frieden zu.
