by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Du bist alles was aus Gold ist
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du bist alles was aus Gold ist
In der großen Welt.

Ich suche deine Sterne
Und will nicht schlafen.

Wir wollen uns hinter Hecken legen
Uns niemehr aufrichten.

Aus unseren Händen
Süße Träumerei küssen.

Mein Herz holt sich
Von deinem Munde Rosen.

Meine Augen lieben dich an,
Du haschst nach ihren Faltern.

Was soll ich tun,
Wenn du nicht da bist.

Von meinen Lidern
Tropft schwarzer Schnee;

Wenn ich tot bin,
Spiele du mit meiner Seele.
