Heimliche Liebe by Johannes Dürrner — Lyrics
Kein Feuer, keine Kohle kann brennen so heiß,
als heimliche Liebe, von der Niemand was weiß.
Keine Rose, keine Nelke kann blühen so schön,
als wenn zwei verliebte Seelen so bei einander steh'n.
Wie's Waldvöglein singt, wenn's der Frühling anweht,
so dringt mir in's Herze deine liebliche Red'.

About Heimliche Liebe
Secret love burns hotter than any fire, as the text of this German TTBB part-song expresses. The composer Johannes Dürrner sets words that compare true love to the beauty of blooming flowers and the song of woodland birds. The lyrics speak of two souls finding solace in each other, their hearts beating as one. A mirror is called for, to reveal the depth of unwavering devotion within the singer's heart, showing only love, loyalty, and honest intention. Dürrner's setting is a heartfelt exploration of concealed affection and steadfast commitment, suitable for secular choir programmes.
