by Ludwig Jacobowski (1868 - 1900)

Gott
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf hohem [Berge, da wohnest]1 du,
Ich [wandle empor immerzu,]2 immerzu ...
Millionen Jahre [wandle]2 ich schon
Und schaue noch immer nicht deinen Thron.

Einst rauchen die Höhen wunderbar,
Da [stehe ich oben]3, Sonne im Haar.
Wir schauen uns an und lächeln [uns zu]4,
Denn du bist ich und ich bin du.
