by Alfred Friedmann (1845 - 1923)

Du Frühlingsmorgen, du Sternenpracht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Du Frühlingsmorgen, du Sternenpracht,
Du Rosenknospe, du Maiennacht,
Meine süße, köstliche Liebe!

Du Mondesglanz und du Sonnenstrahl,
Dein denk’ ich des Tages wohl tausendmal,
Meine süße, köstliche Liebe!

Mein Morgengebet [und]1 mein Abendgesang,
Mein Waldesrauschen, mein Kirchengang,
Meine süße, köstliche Liebe!

Wärst Du mir genommen, wär’ Nacht um mich;
Du bist mein Leben, drum lieb’ ich dich,
Meine süße, köstliche Liebe!

Du wirst mein letzter Gedanke sein,
Und steht auf dem Grab einst mein Leichenstein,
So wünscht’ ich, daß man drauf schriebe:

Sie war sein Lenz, seine Sternennacht,
Seine Rosenknospe und [Maienpracht]2,
Seine einzige, köstliche Liebe!
