Temptation - Vienna

The Demon in my chamber high

This morning came to visit me

And thinking he would find some fault

He whispered: «I would know of thee»

Among the many lovely things

That make the magic of her face

Among the beauties, black and rose

That make her body charm and grace

Which is most fair?

Thou didst' reply

To be abhorred, oh soul of mine

«No single beauty is the best»

When she is all one flower divine

When all things charm me, I ignore

Which one alone brings most delight

She shines before me like the dawn

And she consoles me like the night

The harmony is far too great

That governs all her body fair

For impotence to analyse

And say which note is sweetest there

Oh mystic metamorphosis

My senses into one sense flow

Her voice makes perfume when she speaks

Her breathe is music faint and low

When all things charm me, I ignore

Which one alone brings most delight

She shines before me like the dawn

And she consoles me like the night

The harmony is far too great

That governs all her body fair

For impotence to analyse

And say which note is sweetest there

Oh mystic metamorphosis

My senses into one sense flow

Her voice makes perfume when she speaks

Her breathe is music faint and low

The harmony is far too great

That governs all her body fair

For impotence to analyse

And say which note is sweetest there

Oh mystic metamorphosis

My senses into one sense flow

Her voice makes perfume when she speaks

Her breathe is music faint and low
