Botschaft
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Wenn's im Thal zu Abend läutet
Und es kommt die Dämmerzeit,
Wo durchs Feld ein Wandrer schreitet:
Süße Frau, dann sei bereit!

Denn zu dir kommt der gegangen,
Der in dir nur schafft und ruht;
Wanderglut deckt seine Wangen
Und sein Herz füllt Minneglut!

Aber du sollst inne werden,
Wie dies Herz an dir erblüht --
Sonnwendnacht webt um die Erden
Und des Wandrers Auge glüht.

Die verschwiegnen Sterne leuchten
Und sein Haar bedeckt der Thau;
Und in Wonne wird sich feuchten
Deine Wange -- süße Frau!
