by Barbara Elisabeth Glück (1814 - 1894), as Betty Paoli

Laß mich vor dir niedersinken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Laß mich vor dir niedersinken,
Blicken in dein Angesicht.
Laß mich ätherdürsten trinken
Deines Auges reines Licht. 

Laß mich dir begeistert singen
Einen letzten Erdengruß,
Meine Arme um dich schlingen
Und vergehn an deinem Kuß.
