Komm
 (Sung text for setting by L. Gellert)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Komm! Mein zitterndes Herze verlangt nach dir;
Es strömt in feurigen Gluten
Das wallende Blut zum Herzen mir -
Ich möcht' vor Liebe verbluten!

Und durch dein Herz, da rauscht's wie Föhn:
Du lauschest dem Sturm mit Grauen;
Schau' mir ins Aug'! -- es ist so schön,
Ins lodernde Feuer zu schauen!

Dir wogt die Brust, mir brennt das Blut,
Komm', eh' wir welken müssen!
Komm' wie der Föhn und schür' die Glut
Mit deinen flammenden Küssen!
