by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Denk' mal: wir beide
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Denk' mal: wir beide
Zwischen feurigem Zigeunervolk
Auf der Haide.
Ich zu deinen Füssen liegend,
Du, die Fiedel spielend,
Meine Seele einwiegend
Und der brennende Steppenwind
Saust um uns!

. . . Aber die Mariennacht verschmerz' ich nicht . . .
Die Mariennacht!
Da ich dich sah
Mit der Einen . . .
Wie duftendes Schneien
Fielen die Blüten von den Bäumen.
Die Mariennacht verschmerz' ich nicht . . .
Die blonde Blume in deinen Armen nicht!
