by Thekla Lingen (1866 - 1931)

Du schmiegtest dich zu meinen Füssen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du schmiegtest dich zu meinen Füssen
Und sahst mir flehend ins Gesicht --
Ich musste deine Stirne küssen,
Die Stirne -- weiter dacht ich nicht.

Da schlossest du die lieben Augen
Und bebtest wie in stiller Lust --
Ich küsste die geschlossnen Augen,
Da lag dein Kopf an meiner Brust.

So nah war mir dein Mund, der feine --
Ach, küsste, küsste ich ihn dann! ...
Mit diesem Kuss ward ich die deine,
So nahmst du mich, geliebter Mann!
