Herz, mein Herz, sei nicht beklommen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA

  Herz, mein Herz, sei nicht beklommen,
Und ertrage dein Geschick.
Neuer Frühling giebt zurück,
Was der Winter dir genommen.

  Und wie viel ist dir geblieben!
Und wie schön ist noch die Welt!
Und mein Herz, was dir gefällt,
Alles, alles darfst du lieben!
