by Max Dauthendey (1867 - 1918)

Der Himmel öffnet die blaue Tür
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Himmel öffnet die blaue Tür,
Da kommt gar schön gezieret
Ein Jungfräulein herfür.

Ihr leuchtet warmes zärtliches Haar,
Davon werden die Wege klar,
Und Segen kommt in das Jahr.

Ich bin ihr nachgegangen,
Sie hat mich auch empfangen;
Jetzt leb' ich ohne Speis' und Trank
Von der Süße ihrer Wangen.
