by Emanuel, Freiherr von Bodman (1874 - 1946)

In meinen Armen dein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
In meinen Armen dein 
Liebewarmer Leib -- o du!
Thu' jetzt die großen Augen zu!
Augen, Seele, alles mein.
Schlaf! die Ampel löscht aus.
Mondlicht im ganzen Haus.
Weißt du, wie blau die Treppe war,
Als wir kamen? Auch dein Haar
Ist blau. So rinnt 
Und fließt das aufgelöste Verlangen;
Wir sind
Ineinander aufgegangen.
