by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Auf die schlafende Zuleima
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf die schlafende Zuleima
Fallen Tränen, glühend heiße;
Meiner Tränen Flut benetzet
Ihre Hand, die schwanenweiße.

Auf die schlafende Zuleima
Fällt mein Blut in roten Tropfen;
Und sie seufzet schwer im Traume,
Und das Herzchen hör ich klopfen.

Ach! der Schmerz ist stumm geboren,
Ohne Zunge in dem Munde;
Hat nur Tränen, hat nur Blut,
Blut aus tiefer Todeswunde.
