Meine Seele
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT
Meine Seele, die hat weite Flügel, weiche Seraphfittiche von Licht, meine Seele, die hat Schwanenflügel und ermüdet nie und schlummert nicht. Meine Seele wacht in deinem Kreise, segnend streift dich ihrer Flüge Schein und du neigst dein Haupt und schmiegst dich leise tief in ihre Fittiche hinein.
