Leises Lied
Language: German (Deutsch)
In einem stillen Garten An eines Brunnens Schacht, Wie wollt' ich gerne warten Die lange graue Nacht! Viel helle Lilien blühen Um des Brunnens Schlund; Drin schwimmen golden die Sterne, Drin badet sich der Mond. Und wie in den Brunnen schimmern Die lieben Sterne hinein, Glänzt mir im Herzen immer Deiner lieben Augen Schein. Die Sterne doch am Himmel, Die stehen all' so fern; In deinem stillen Garten Stünd' ich jetzt so gern.
