by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

In deinem Blick schweben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In deinem Blick schweben
Alle Himmel zusammen.

Immer hast du die Madonna angesehn,
Darum sind deine Augen überirdisch.

Und mein Herz wird ein Weihbecken,
Besterne dich mit meinem Blut;

Ich will der Tau deiner Frühe sein,
Deiner Abendsehnsucht pochendes Amen.

Du bist heilig zwischen bösem Tanz
Und schrillen Flöten.

Gottes Nachtigall bist du
In seinem Hirtentraum.

Deine Sünden wurden Musik,
Die bewegt süß meine Züge;

Deine Tränen tranken schlafende Blumen,
Die wieder Paradies werden sollen.

Ich liebe dich zauberisch wie im Spiegel des Bachs
Oder fern im wolkengerahmten Blau.
