by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Du meiner Seele schönster Traum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du meiner Seele schönster Traum!
Du meiner schönsten Träume Seele!
Du Herz, dem ich mein Heil befehle!
Du Heil, wie ich es ahnte kaum!
  
Du meines Lebens schönstes Lied!
Du schönes Leben meiner Lieder!
Aus Lied und Leben klingen wieder,
Was deine Liebe mir beschied.
  
Du meines Lenzes Blüt' und Duft!
Du Lenz, dem reich mein Herz erblühet!
Du Stern, der mir am Himmel glühet,
Mein Himmel du voll Glanz und Luft!
  
O lass um deine Stirne gern
Der liebe Glorie mich weben,
Mein Himmel du, mein Lenz, mein Leben!
Mein Heil, o du mein Lied, mein Stern!
