Freundliche Vision
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nicht im Schlafe hab' ich das geträumt, Hell am Tage sah ich's schön vor mir: Eine Wiese voller Margeritten; Tief ein weißes Haus in grünen Büschen; Götterbilder leuchten aus dem Laube. Und ich geh' mit Einer, die mich lieb hat, Ruhigen Gemütes in die Kühle Dieses weißen Hauses, in den Frieden, Der voll Schönheit wartet, daß wir kommen.
M. Reger sets lines 3-9
