by Oscar (Friedrich Julius Valentin) von Warkotsch (1827 - c1874)

Von Deinen rothen Lippen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Von Deinen rothen Lippen 
Trink' ich den Frühlingsduft,   
Und gieß ihn im Liede wieder
Hinaus in die reine Luft. 

Er sinkt in die Kelch der Rose, 
Die duftet so süß die Nacht, 
Daß sie die Nachtigallen 
Alle verliebt gemacht. 

Wenn sie so süß nun schlagen 
Vor deinem Fensterlein,  
Dann weißt Du, woher die Töne, 
Dann, Herz, o denke mein!
