Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn ich dich, Holde, sehe, So glaub' ich keinen Schmerz, Schon deine bloße Nähe Beseligt dieses Herz. Die Leiden sind zerronnen, Die sonst die Brust gequält, Es leuchten tausend Sonnen Der lustentbrannten Welt. Und neue Kräfte blitzen Ins trunkne Herz hinein, Ja, ich will dich beschützen, Ich will dein Diener sein.
