Dein Bildnis

Halb Dämmerschein, halb Kerzenlicht
Sich um dein liebes Bildnis flicht;

Da fallen mir Gedanken ein,
Halb Kerzenlicht, halb Dämmerschein:

Halb Dämmerschein, o Küssenszeit!
Halb Kerzenlicht, o Brautgeleit!

Es kommt die Zeit, o zage nicht,
Daß uns der Wonne Kranz umflicht,

Wo heimlich traut uns hüllet ein -
Halb Kerzenlicht, halb Dämmerschein!
