by (Gottlob Ferdinand) Max(imilian) Gottfried von Schenkendorf (1783 - 1817)

Maria! süße Königin!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Maria! süße Königin! 
Es steigt hinauf zu dir mein Sinn. 
Ein Strahl von deinem Angesicht 
Ist mehr, als Mond- und Sonnenlicht. 

Das Wunderkind auf deinem Arm 
Stillt jede Sehnsucht, jeden Harm;  
Du drückst es ewig an dein Herz, 
Ach, wer da ruhte sonder Schmerz! 

O Mutter, laß mich bei dir sein, 
In deinen Schleier hüll' mich ein; 
Wen du nur einmal angeblickt, 
Ist ewig selig und beglückt.
