by Stefan George (1868 - 1933)

Vorklang
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sterne steigen dort ·
Stimmen an den sang.
Sterne sinken dort
Mit dem wechselsang:

Dass du schön bist
Regt den weltenlauf.
Wenn du mein bist
Zwing ich ihren lauf.

Dass du schön bist
Bannt mich bis zum tod.
Dass du herr bist
Führt in not und tod.

›Dass ich schön bin
Also deucht es mir.
Dass ich dein bin
Also schwör ich dir.‹
