by Leberecht Blücher Dreves (1816 - 1870)

Spät nach dem Tage, dem schwülen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Spät nach dem Tage, dem schwülen, 
Kommst du, nächtliches Säuseln,
Heimlicher flüsternder Hauch;
Willst du die Locken mir kräuseln? 
Willst du die Wange mir kühlen?
Kühle den Busen mir auch.

Thränen verstohlener Schmerzen,
Wenn sie dem Auge entsunken,
Trocknet dein Odem wie mild;
Warum den glimmenden Funken, 
Heimlich schlummernd im Herzen,
Fachst du zur Flamme so wild?
