by Hermann Rollett (1819 - 1904)

An einem lichten Morgen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
An einem lichten Morgen,
  Da klingt es hell im Thal:
Wach' auf, du liebe Blume,
  Ich bin der Sonnenstral!

Erschließe mit Vertrauen
  Dein Blütenkämmerlein
Und laß die heiße Liebe
  Ins Heiligtum hinein.

Ich will ja nichts verlangen
  Als liegen dir im Schoos,
Und deine Blüte küssen --
  Eh sie verwelkt im Moos.

Ich will ja nichts begehren,
  Als ruhn an deiner Brust,
Und dich dafür verklären
  Mit sonnenheller Lust!
