by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Ihr goldnen Schlüsselblumen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ihr goldnen Schlüsselblumen,
Schließt auf den Himmel mir!
Nicht über den Wolken oben,
Den Himmel auf Erden hier.

Ihr goldnen Schlüsselblumen,
Schaut nicht so neidisch drein;
O schließt mir auf den Himmel,
Dann dürft ihr neidisch sein!

Ihr goldnen Schlüsselblumen!
Ich trag' euch zu ihr hinauf,
Sie wird ans Herz euch nehmen --
O schließt mir den Himmel auf.

In lilienweißen Armen,
O ew'ge, selige Ruh'!
Ihr goldnen Schlüsselblumen
Schließt sachte hinter mir zu!
