Liebe mich
 (Sung text for setting by H. Esser)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Liebe mich -- ich küß' dich wach!
Zu der Knospe das Lüftchen sprach.
 
Knospe sagte nicht nein, nicht ja, --
Doch sie wußt' nicht, wie ihr geschah.
 
Wie ein sel'ges Wonnemeer
Wogt' das Lüftchen um sie her;
 
Küßte ihr kosend jedes Blatt,
Wurde nimmer des Küssens satt;
 
Koste so lange, ward nimmer müd', --
Bis die Knospe in Lieb erblüht!
