by Michel Berend (1834 - 1866)

Dein Bild, das makellose
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dein Bild, das [makellose]1,
Vor meiner Seele steht, 
So schön wie eine Rose, 
So rein wie ein Gebet. 

In stummer Andacht weil' ich
Davor bei Tag und Nacht, 
Und bin mir selber heilig, 
[Wenn]2 ich an dich gedacht.
