SCHLÜSSEL-BLUME

Oh, Love, your fingers hold
The golden key of the spring;
The meadows are dusted gold,
The lark is high on the wing,
And his song bright notes doth fling
Like living stars on the wold:
Oh Love, your fingers hold
The golden key of the spring.
But the day is wintry cold,
And the lark no more can sing;

80

The meadows in mist are stoled,
Your heart is locked to its King.
Oh, Love, your fingers hold
The golden key of the Spring.
