by Adolf Frey (1855 - 1920)

Meine Lieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE ITA
Wenn mein Herz beginnt zu klingen
Und den Tönen löst die Schwingen,
Schweben vor mir her und wieder
Bleiche Wonnen, unvergessen
Und die Schatten von Zypressen -
Dunkel klingen meine Lieder!
