by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Ich suche durch Mühen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich suche durch Mühen
Meine Gedanken
Von Dir zu lenken,
Aber sie glühen
Zu Dir ohne Wanken,
Ich muss Dein gedenken!
Wie nach der Sonne verlangen die Reben,
Verlangt mich's nach Dir, meine Sonne, mein Leben!
