Aeolsharfe (Lingg, set by M. Reger) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Geheimnisvoller Klang,
für Geister der Luft besaitet,
von keines Menschen Gesang,
von Stürmen nur begleitet!

In deinen Tiefen sind
die Melodien der Sterne,
so ruft ein weinend Kind
der Mutter in die Ferne

Laute der Trösterin der Einsamkeit!
So ziehn über Fluten Schwäne,
so wiegt in Träume die Seligkeit
die schmerzenstillenden Träne.
