by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Ich athmet' einen linden Duft
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich athmet' einen linden Duft. 
Im Zimmer stand 
Ein Angebinde 
Von lieber Hand, 
Ein Zweig der Linde; 
Wie lieblich war der Lindenduft! 

Wie lieblich ist der Lindenduft! 
Das Lindenreis 
Brachst du gelinde; 
Ich athme leis 
Im Duft der Linde 
Der Herzensfreundschaft linden Duft.
