An Die Musik

Oh, lovely art
In how many gray hours
When life's wild circle wraps around me
You’ve ignited my heart with warm love
You’ve transported me to a better world
To a better world!

Often a sigh, escaped from your harp
A sweet, sacred chord from you
Has opened up the heavens of better times for me
Oh, lovely art, I thank you for that
Oh, lovely art, I thank you!
