Durch hohe Kirchenfenster
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Durch hohe Kirchenfenster flutet hell und klar Das Sonnenlicht, Ein Strahl umflimmert golden meiner Liebsten Haar Und Angesicht. Sie selber hält in frommer Andacht tief gesenkt, Das junge Haupt; Ob ihr der Himmel gnädig wohl den Frieden schenkt, Den sie mir raubt?
