by Wilhelm Stens, Dr. (b. 1810)

Der Geliebten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein heit'rer, blauer Frühlingsmorgen
verklärte rings Gebirg' und Tal,
und in der Ferne tief verborgen
erglühte sanft ein [gold'ner]1 Strahl.

Und wie er höher, höher glühte,
da ward es in der Brust so hell,
und wie die erste Blume blühte,
da sprang hervor der Zauberquell.

Wo ist das Auge, das ihn schaute?
Wo ist die Brust, die ihn empfand?
In deinem Aug' der Morgen blaute,
aus deiner Brust der Quell sich wand.

Der Strahl hat meinen Blick getroffen,
der Quell goss sich in meine Brust;
der Glaube kam, es kam das Hoffen,
es kam der Liebe heil'ge Lust!

Und sieh! Es sprangen tausend Lieder
hervor auf ihren Zauberschlag!
Nimm, o Geliebte, nimm sie wieder,
sie tönen alle dir nur nach!
