by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)
Aeolsharfe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Geheimnisvoller Klang, Für Geister der Luft besaitet, Von keines Menschen Gesang, Von Stürmen nur begleitet. In deinen Tiefen sind Die Melodien der Sterne, -- So ruft ein weinend Kind Der Mutter in die Ferne. Laute der Trösterin der Einsamkeit! So [ziehen]1 über Fluten Schwäne, So wiegt in Träume [der]2 Seligkeit Die schmerzenstillenden Thräne.
