Strauss - Zueignung HD

Dedication Yes, dear soul, you know That I’m in torment far from you, Love makes hearts sick – Be thanked. Once, revelling in freedom, I held the amethyst cup aloft And you blessed that draught – Be thanked. And you banished the evil spirits, Till I, as never before, Holy, sank holy upon your heart – Be thanked.
