by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Wenn mein Herz auch müde ist
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn mein Herz auch müde ist,
Müde von zu vielen Schmerzen,
Ist dies müdeste der Herzen
Doch zu dir in Glut entbrannt.

Ach, daß du mir ferne bist.

Doch mein Herz ist deiner Güte,
Wie dem Himmelslicht die Blüte,
Sonnenstrahlenzugewandt.

Und so wird durch deine Strahlen
Aller Schmerzen, aller Qualen
Bald mein Herz entladen sein,
Denn der Liebe Licht heilt schnelle.
Sende, spende deine Helle,
Du mein lieber Sonnenschein.
