by Hermann Oelschläger (1839 - 1908)

Wenn du dein Haupt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn du dein Haupt
Zur Brust mir neigst
Und die Hände mir fassest
Und stehst und schweigst  -- 

Wenn mir dein Hauch
Die Stirn umweht,
Dann überkommt es mich
Wie Gebet. 

Mir ist, der Himmel
Sehe darein
Und es müsse sein Segen
Mit uns sein.
