Feuerlilie Lyrics: S. Manteuffel
Shining, aflame you arise Invoking the lust of my eyes By the beauty in which you do thrive Crowned with blossoms of fire Gleaming red like desire A sigh of nature’s perpetual strife
Without you the earth looks so bare But anyway you are just rare A beautiful flower that is here Petite yet magnificent you are Though you are seen from afar A flower of grace that is held dear
Slim stalks and tiny buds you do show And petals like the sunset you grow Your fragrance a promise of wealth Your appearance is lovely to see Splendid, full of elegance, and free A symbol for prosperity and health
Your marvellous shape is so fine The splendour and beauty is thine You are the adornment of the house I want you to rise and to shine So joy and pleasure is mine Merriment for me to arouse
Charmed by the spell that you cast Enchanted, my yearning will last You flourish and unfold in full bloom By your tender limbs’ gentle touch I find myself caught in a clutch Your presence has sealed boredom’s doom
A wonderful dream to prevail Of green and red, and of pale And when the dream may come to an end A beautiful start shall be at hand Of the best things that I’ve ever had With fine music, wine, and lilies of red
