by Hans Heinrich Ehrler (1872 - 1951)

Es rieselt etwas über dein Gesicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es rieselt etwas über dein Gesicht,
Vielleicht, du süße Knospe Gottes bricht
Aus dir für einen Menschen bald der Blume Licht.
Verborgner Flügel seiner Flor
Regt unter Decken sich hervor.
Und Perlen seh ich, die von ihren Schnüren
Zu rollen sich schon heimlich rühren.
