by (Christian) Friedrich Hebbel (1813 - 1863)

O süßes, süßes Jungfraunbild!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O süßes, süßes Jungfraunbild! 
In Engelfrieden hingegossen! 
Noch Kind, und doch so göttlich abgeschlossen! 
Demütig, sicher, stolz und mild! 

O Jungfraunbild, dich möcht' ich nicht  --  
Es wär mir, wie ein Raub  --  umfangen, 
Ich möchte vor dir niederknie'n und hangen 
An deinem Himmelsangesicht. 

Dann läg' ich stumm in heil'ger Scheu, 
Du aber würdest fromm erglühen, 
Und still und kindlich bei mir niederknieen, 
Und sinnen, wo die Heil'ge sei.
