Geh' vorüber

Language: German (Deutsch)

Das Sonnenlicht kommt durch's Fenster geflogen,
Küßt mich und lacht:
"Guten Morgen."
  "Ach, liebes Licht,
  Rufe doch nicht,
  Siehe, die Sorgen
  Schlafen ja noch!
  Willst du sie wecken,
  Daß sie mich schrecken?
  Spät erst hat sie die gütige Nacht
  Singend und schmeichelnd zur Ruh'  gebracht.
  Da hab ich geschlafen und träumte so schön:
  Von lachenden Kindern, von Sonne und Veilchen ...
  Willst du nicht noch ein zögerndes Weilchen
  An meiner Kammer vorübergehn?
