Im April

Language: German

Du feuchter Frühlingsabend,
Wie hab' ich dich so gern!
Der Himmel ist wolkenverhangen,
Nur hier und da ein Stern.

[Wie]1 leiser Liebesodem
Hauchet so lau die Luft,
Es steigt aus allen Talen
Ein warmer [Veilchenduft]2.

Ich möcht' ein Lied ersinnen,
Das diesem Abend gleich,
Und kann den Klang nicht finden,
So dunkel, mild und weich.
