An Maria
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Dein Aug' ist süß, dein Blick ist hold,
dein Herz so rein wie laut'res Gold,
dein Name klingt so wonniglich,
mit aller Inbrunst lieb' ich dich:
Maria, Maria!

Dein Mund, wie er so lieblich spricht,
wie heilig glänzt dein Angesicht;
dich bet' ich an mit Himmelslust,
ein Lied, nur ein's hat meine Brust:
Maria, Maria!

Sei du mein Engel, sei mir mild,
du mein geliebtes Heil'genbild,
du Fürstin, der ich Treue schwor
und mir zur Herrscherin erkor,
Maria, Maria!
