Mutter! Ach in meinem Herzen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Mutter! Ach in meinem Herzen Zittert noch kein Frühlingsstrahl, Will's nicht keimen, will's nicht blühen, Ist noch alles todt und kahl! Löse doch die harte Rinde, Die mein Inn'res mir umstarrt, Wärm' die Seele, die mit Sehnsucht Ihrem Lenz entgegenharrt. Lasse Maienglöcklein spriessen, Himmelsblumen [licht]1 und klar: Gib mir Keuschheit, Demuth, Milde, Mach mich fromm und rein und wahr!
