Ich wandle unter Blumen
Claudia Richarz
I wander among flowers
And blossom with them;
I wander as in a dream
And sway with every step.
O, hold me fast, beloved!
Or drunk with love
I’ll fall at your feet –
And the garden is full of folk.
Heinrich Heine’s lovestruck poem from 1844 is performed by singer Beate Josten, in a location that is anything but romantic.
