by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)
Melodie
Language: German (Deutsch)
Deine Augen legen sich in meine Augen Und nie war mein Leben so in Banden, Nie hat es so tief in Dir gestanden Es so wehrlos tief. Und unter Deinen schattigen Träumen Trinkt mein Anemonenherz den Wind zur Nachtzeit, Und ich wandle blühend durch die Gärten Deiner stillen Einsamkeit.
