by Albert Jaessing (1850 - 1870)

Dir weih' ich diese ersten Sänge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dir weih' ich diese ersten Sänge, 
Die mir der Muse Gunst verlieh'n; 
Dir bring' ich diese ersten Klänge, 
Der trunk'nen Seele Harmonie'n! 
Was Götter mir ins Herz gegossen, 
Empfange nun aus lieber Hand; 
Es kommt der Liederbach geflossen, 
Und ringsher grünet herrlich Land.
