by (Heinrich Adelbert Konrad Karl) Alexander Schiller, Freiherr von Gleichen, genannt von Russwurm (1865 - 1947), as Alexander von Gleichen-Russwurm

Ich wollt', ich wär' die Frühlingsluft
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich wollt', ich wär' die Frühlingsluft 
Und küßte dann mit süßem Duft, 
Feinslieb, die Wange Dein. 

Ich wollt', ich wär' der Sonnenschein,
Der morgens früh in's Kämmerlein 
Zu Dir, mein Herze scheint. 

Ich wollt', ich wär' das Veilchen blau, 
Daß Du gepflückt' auf grüner Au, 
Und ruht an Deiner Brust.
