by Karl Friedrich Henckell (1864 - 1929)
Ich trage meine Minne
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich trage meine Minne Vor Wonne stumm Im Herzen und im Sinne Mit mir herum. Ja, daß ich dich gefunden, Du liebes Kind, Das freut mich alle [Stunde]1, Die mir beschieden sind. [Ob]2 auch der Himmel trübe, Kohlschwarz die Nacht, Hell leuchtet meiner Liebe Goldsonn'ge Pracht. Und liegt [die]3 Welt in Sünden, So tut mir's weh -- Die arge muß erblinden Vor deiner Unschuld Schnee.
