by Christian Reinhold (1813 - 1856)

O sehntest Du Dich so nach mir
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  O sehntest Du Dich so nach mir,
Wie ich nach Dir,
Du kämst zu mir.
 
  Mein Aug ist nur nach Dir ein Strahl
Voll süßer Qual;
O komm' einmal!
 
  In meinem Ohr an jedem Ort
Tönt immerfort
Dein liebes Wort.
 
  Mein Athem ist ein Hauch nach Dir;
Die Seele mir
Verschwimmt in Gier.
 
  Von Deinem Kusse träumt mein Mund
Und seufzt sich wund;
Mach' ihn gesund!
 
  O sehntest Du Dich so nach mir,
Wie ich nach Dir,
Du wärst schon hier!
