Quartett

Language: German

Dunkler Lichtglanz, blinder Blick,
totes Leben, Lust und Plage,
Glück erfüllt von Mißgeschick,
trübes Lachen, frohe Klage,
süße Galle, holde Pein,
Fried' und Krieg in einem Herzen,
das kannst, Liebe, du nur sein,
mit der Lust erkauft durch Schmerzen,
Liebe, das kannst du nur sein!
Liebe, das kannst du nur sein,
dunkler Lichtglanz, blinder Blick,
totes Leben, Lust voll Plage,
das kannst, Liebe, du nur sein!
