by Christiane Rosalia Friederik (1839 - 1901), as Ada Christen

Christbaum
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hörst' auch Du die leisen Stimmen 
  Aus den bunten Kerzlein dringen?
Die vegessenen Gebete
  Aus den Tannenzweiglein singen?
Hörst' [auch Du]1 das schüchternfrohe, 
  Helle Kinderlachen klingen?
Schaust' auch Du den stillen Engel
  Mit den reinen, weißen Schwingen?...
Schaust' auch Du Dich selber wieder
  Fern und fremd [nur]2 wie im Traume?
Grüßt auch Dich mit Märchenaugen
  Deine Kindheit aus dem Baume?...
