by (Adolf Friedrich) Carl (or Karl) Streckfuß (c1778 - 1844)

Engelstöne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
"Regen nicht tönend hell
Englein die Flügel?"
'S ist nur der muntre Quell,
Rieselnd von Hügel.

"Horch, doch ein Engel ruft:
Lieb' und Vertrauen!"
'S ist nur die Maienluft,
Fächelnd die Auen.

"Nein, horch den Engel-Schall:
Sehnsucht und Glaube!"
'S ist nur die Nachtigall,
Singend im Laube.

Nachtigall, Luft und Quell
Beim süßen Schalle
Fühl' ich im Herzen hell:
Englein ihr Alle!
