by Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751 - 1792)
Lied zum teutschen Tanz
Language: German (Deutsch)
O Angst! o tausendfach Leben! O Muth, den Busen geschwellt, Zu taumeln, zu wirbeln, zu schweben, Als giengs so fort aus der Welt! Kürzer die Brust Athmet die Lust. Alles verschwunden, Was uns gebunden. Frey wie der Wind, Götter wir sind!
