3. Eine Melodie...  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Eine Melodie 
Singt mein Herz, die du gesungen. 
Still auf deinem Knie 
Lag mein Haupt, von deinem Arm umschlungen.

Schwerer Duft der Nacht 
Zog mit müdem Hauch vorüber.
Bang' hab ich gedacht: 
Sterben müßt' ich, hätt' ich dich noch lieber. 

Liebst du auch so sehr? 
Warum singst du solche Lieder?
Aus verhülltem Meer 
Läuten Glocken auf und tauchen nieder.

Tief im dunklen Dom 
Schwanken Weihrauch und Choräle . . .
Wie ein Tränenstrom 
Zieht es einsam jetzt durch meine Seele.
