Hohe Liebe | In Liebesarmen ruht ihr trunken

Hohe Liebe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE SPA

In Liebesarmen ruht ihr trunken,
Des Lebens Früchte winken euch;
Ein Blick nur ist auf mich gesunken,
Doch bin ich vor euch allen reich.

Das Glück der Erde miss ich gerne
Und blick, ein Märtyrer, hinan,
Denn über mir in goldner Ferne
Hat sich der Himmel aufgetan.

Note: some lines of this poem were used in Zanettovich's Lied (mond - nacht - liebes - traum - lied)
