Odem der Liebe
 (Sung text for setting by A. Ritter)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Windstoß nahm mir von der Kerze
die Flamme weg. Doch glimmte noch
der Docht. Ich blies ihm Odem zu;
da fing er Feuer wieder.
Mein Licht ist ausgelöscht. Doch glimmt
der Docht noch fort. O hauche du
ihm neuen Odem zu:
Licht, Liebe, Leben, Lieder.
