by Charles Polydore de Mont (1857 - 1931)
Translation by Adolf Kiepert (1845 - 1911)

Leg' an mein Herze deine Stirne
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Dutch (Nederlands) 
Leg' an mein Herze deine Stirne,
Dein Händchen laß mir ohne Bang,
Kein Hauch des Südens liebend streichelt
Wie ich deine blühende Rosenwang.

Leg' an mein Herze deine Stirne,
Dein Händchen laß mir ohne Bang,
Und athme sacht und flüſtre ſtille,
So endlos süß, so endlos bang.

Ich küsse dir die Strahlenaugen,
Ich küss' der blonden Locken Licht.
Du starrst mich an, aus deinem Junern
Ein Lichtstrahl neuer Welten bricht.
