by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Auf deiner blauen Seele
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Auf deiner blauen Seele
Setzen sich die Sterne zur Nacht.

Man muß leise mit dir sein,
O, du mein Tempel,
Meine Gebete erschrecken dich;

Meine Perlen werden wach
Von meinem heiligen Tanz.

Es ist nicht Tag und nicht Stern,
Ich kenne die Welt nicht mehr,
Nur dich - alles ist Himmel.
