by Franz Ferdinand, Freiherr von Dingelstedt (1814 - 1881)

Sonst in trauter Dämmerstunde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sonst in trauter Dämmerstunde,
Wenn es draußen fror und schneite,
Saß ich still an [ihrer]1 Seite,
Hand in Hand und Mund [an]2 Munde;
[Ach die]3 süße Dämmerstunde!

Heil'ge Ruhe in der Runde,
Worte [flockten]4, Augen glühten,
[Funken stoben, Küsse sprühten,]5
Herz und Herz im [nächsten]6 Bunde.
[Ach die]3 süße Dämmerstunde!

Jetzt in stillen Dämmerstunden
Sitz' ich am Kamine wieder;
Doch die Funken sind verschwunden,
Statt der Küsse fließen Lieder!
[Ach die]7 süßen Dämmerstunden!
