by Franz Ferdinand, Freiherr von Dingelstedt (1814 - 1881)

Sonst in trauter Dämmerstunde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sonst in trauter Dämmerstunde,
Wenn es draußen fror und schneite,
Saß ich still an ihrer Seite,
Hand in Hand und Mund an Munde;
Ach die süße Dämmerstunde!

Heil'ge Ruhe in der Runde,
Worte flockten, Augen glühten,
Funken stoben, Küsse sprühten,
Herz und Herz im nächsten Bunde.
Ach die süße Dämmerstunde!

Jetzt in stillen Dämmerstunden
Sitz' ich am Kamine wieder;
Doch die Funken sind verschwunden,
Statt der Küsse fließen Lieder!
Ach die süßen Dämmerstunden!
