by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Ich hab' an seiner Brust geruht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ich hab' an seiner Brust geruht,
In seinen Armen schlief ich ein,
Und kreuzt er nimmer meinen Weg --
Er war doch eine Stunde mein!

Und wenn ich dieser Stunde Glück
Mit meinem Leben zahlen müßt',
Ich ginge lächelnd in den Tod --
Er hat mich einmal doch geküßt.
