by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Wonniglich ist's, die Geliebte...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wonniglich ist's, die Geliebte verlangend im Arme zu halten,
Wenn ihr klopfendes Herz Liebe zuerst dir gesteht.
Wonniglicher, das Pochen des Neulebendigen fühlen,
Das in dem lieblichen Schoß immer sich nährend bewegt.
Schon versucht es die Sprünge der raschen Jugend; es klopfet
Ungeduldig schon an, sehnt sich nach himmlischem Licht.
Harre noch wenige Tage! Auf allen Pfaden des Lebens
Führen die Horen dich streng, wie es das Schicksal gebeut.
Widerfahre dir, was dir auch will, du wachsender Jüngling -
Liebe bildete dich; werde dir Liebe zu Theil!
