by Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856)
Lied für XXX
Language: German (Deutsch)
Leicht, wie gaukelnde Sylphiden, Flattern süsser Schwärmereien Auf den süssen Rose bleiben Lose wie die Waidchen hin. Küsse diese, küsse jene, Küsse, küsse warm und heiss. Fessle flüchtig Alles Schöne Rasch in deinen Zauberkreis. In dem Spiel beseelten Träumen, Wiege, süsse Träumereien Über junge Blüten Keime Träumerisch dein Leben hin. Träume wie die Rosen währen, Wenn die Weste sie umwehn, Ach, die Wahrheit sind die Tränen Nur im Träumen lebt sich's schön.
Note (provided by Laura Prichard): this text was written for and the song composed for the married singer Agnus Carus.
