Es tönt ein voller Harfenklang
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es [tönt]1 ein voller Harfenklang Den Lieb' und Sehnsucht schwellen, Er dringt zum Herzen tief und bang Und läßt das Auge quellen. O rinnet, Tränen, nur herab, O schlage Herz, mit Beben! Es sanken Lieb' und Glück ins Grab, Verloren ist [mein]2 Leben!
