by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Laß mich ihm am Busen hangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Laß mich ihm am Busen hangen,
Mutter, Mutter! laß das Bangen.
Frage nicht: wie soll sich's wenden?
Frage nicht: wie soll das enden?
Enden? Enden soll sich's nie,
Wenden, noch nicht weiß ich, wie!
