by Gustav Falke (1853 - 1916)

Du hast in meinem Herzen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Du hast in meinem Herzen
Ein reines Feuer erweckt,
Dran hab' ich erlosch'ne Kerzen
Wieder angesteckt:

  Kleine Liebeslieder 
Sind wieder erwacht,
Leben und leuchten wieder 
Nach langer Nacht.

  Leuchten in reinen Flammen,
Fürchte dich nicht davor,
Ihr Summen und Singen zusammen
Giebt einen lieblichen Chor.

  So mögen die Engel singen,
Die um Maria stehn,
Mit gefalteten Schwingen,
Und aufs schlummernde Kindchen sehn.
