by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Wenn man an dir Verrat geübt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn man an dir Verrat geübt, Sei du um so treuer; Und ist deine Seele zu Tode betrübt, So greife zur Leier. Die Saiten klingen! Ein Heldenlied, Voll Flammen und Gluten! Da schmilzt der Zorn, und dein Gemüt Wird süß verbluten.
