by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Nun sitzest du zu meinen Füßen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nun sitzest du zu meinen Füßen,
Und um uns beide streicht der Wind --
Das ist wie ein geheimes Grüßen
Von wundervollen, blauen Tagen,
Die über uns gekommen sind.

Ich sag' dir all die wilden Lieder,
Um die ich tausend Schmerzen litt,
Du siehst verloren vor dich nieder,
Und meine Noth und meine Wonne,
Du fühlst es alles, alles mit.

Und tausend feine Fäden spinnen
Uns beiden Träumer heimlich ein,
Es ist ein überquellend Geben
Und Nehmen zwischen unsern Seelen,
Und herrlich mag die Ernte sein.
