Mein Heimweh und meine Liebe Ist heut in dieser heißen Nacht Süß wie ein Duft von fremden Blumen Zu heißem Leben aufgewacht. Mein Heimweh und meine Liebe Und all mein Glück und Mißgeschick Steht wie ein stummes Lied geschrieben In deinem dunklen Märchenblick. Mein Heimweh und meine Liebe, Der Welt und allem Lärm entflohn, Hat sich in deinen dunklen Augen Erbaut einen heimlichen Königsthron.
