Meine Lieder stehen Vor deiner Tür, Sie klopfen an und bücken sich: Öffnest du mir? Meine Lieder haben Einen seidenen Klang Dem Rauschen deines Kleides gleich Im Treppengang. Meine Lieder tragen Ein Düften lind, Ganz wie in deinem Lieblingsbeet Der Hyazinth. Meine Lieder kleidet Ein schweres Rot, Das deinem seidnen Kleide gleich Knistert und loht. Meine schönsten Lieder Gleichen ganz dir. Sie stehn an der Pforte und bücken sich: Öffnest du mir?
