Singende Flammen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zwei Flammen steigen schlank empor in stiller, weißer Wacht, sie singen einen leisen Chor empor zur Nacht,z ur Nacht. Zwiefacher Liebe Dankgebeter tönt in zarter Pracht, der Erde Doppelseele weht empor zur Nacht, zur Nacht.
Note: the text was inspired by a painting by Hermann Hendrichs.
