by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)
Schenk mir deinen goldenen Kamm
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schenk mir deinen goldenen Kamm; Jeder Morgen soll dich mahnen, Daß du mir die Haare küßtest. Schenk mir deinen seidenen Schwamm; Jeden Abend will ich ahnen, Wem du dich im Bade rüstest, O Maria! Schenk mir Alles, was du hast; Meine Seele ist nicht eitel, Stolz empfang ich deinen Segen. Schenk mir deine schwerste Last: Willst du nicht auf meinen Scheitel Auch dein Herz, dein Herz noch legen, Magdalena?
