An einem lichten Morgen

Chosen for Diff
[An]1 einem lichten Morgen,
  Da klingt es hell im Thal:
Wach' auf, du liebe Blume,
  Ich bin der Sonnenstral!

[Erschließe]2 mit Vertrauen
  Dein Blütenkämmerlein
Und laß die heiße Liebe
  Ins Heiligtum hinein.

Ich will ja nichts [verlangen]3
  Als [liegen dir]4 im Schoos,
Und deine Blüte küssen --
  Eh sie verwelkt im Moos.

Ich will ja nichts begehren,
  Als ruhn an deiner Brust,
Und dich dafür verklären
  Mit sonnenheller Lust!
