Text:

(And she flew into his arms and she hung on his lips,
and then the first heavy sweet kiss of love followed.)

Third in set of three, with Nos. 2007 and 2008, based on a poem entitled “The Trumpeter of Säckingen”, written in 1853 by Josef Viktor von Scheffel, which tells the story of a love affair between a trumpeter (Werner) and a baron’s daughter (Margaretha).
