Like one bright flower it blooms in peace;

The mountains rock in purple light,

The valleys shout as with delight;

All rush and whirl in the music's noise,

And long to share of these offer'd joys;

The soul of man is allured to gladness,

And lies entranced in that blissful madness.

The Trusty Eckart felt it,

But wist not of the cause;

His heart the music melted,
