by Carl Siebel (1836 - 1868)

Ich lehn' mein Haupt an deine Brust
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich lehn' mein Haupt an deine Brust, 
Du reizend Kind vom Rhein,  --  
Und schau' hinauf mit sel'ger Lust,
In's dunkle Auge dein.  

Ich lehn' mein Haupt an deine Brust, 
Ich schmiege Herz an Herz, 
Und schwelg' in trunk'ner Götterlust, 
Verspottend ird'schen Schmerz.  

Ja, laß uns überselig sein; 
Küss' mir den schönsten Kuß, 
Und strahle mir in's Herz hinein 
Der Liebe Flammenguß.  

Ich lehn' mein Haupt an deine Brust, 
Du reizend Kind vom Rhein  --  
Vernichte mich in wilder Lust 
Das schwarze Auge dein!
