by Ludwig Heinrich Christoph Hölty (1748 - 1776)

Minnelied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Freuden sonder Zahl 
Sind im Himmelssaal,
Wie man uns erzählet,
Keine Wonne fehlet,
Ach, da möcht' ich, rein
Alles Wandels, seyn!

Unter Engeln gehn,
Ihre Spiele sehn,
Küßen sie, als Brüder,
Lernen ihre Lieder,
Ach, da möcht' ich, rein
Alles Wandels, seyn!

Lieber blieb' ich hier, 
Gäbe Julchen mir 
Einen Blick voll Minne, 
Wann ich den gewinne,
Bleib' ich lieber hier,
Freue mich mit ihr.

Confirmed with Ludwig Christoph Heinrich Hölty's Sämtliche Werke kritisch und chronologisch herausgegeben von Wilhelm Michael, Erster Band, Weimar, Gesellschaft der Bibliophilen, 1914, page 123.

This is the original version of Hölty's Seligkeit. It has first been published in a heavily reworked version by Johann Heinrich Voß; see below.
