by Else Lasker-Schüler (1869 - 1945)

Ich taumele über deines Leibes goldene...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich taumele über deines Leibes goldene Wiese,
Es glitzern auf dem Liebespfade hin die Demantkiese
Und auch zu meinem Schosse
Führen bunterlei Türkise.

Ich suchte ewig dich – es bluten meine Füsse –
Ich löschte meinen Durst mit deines Lächelns Süsse.
Und fürchte doch, dass sich das Tor
Des Traumes schliesse.

Ich sende dir, eh ich ein Tropfen frühes Licht geniesse,
In blauer Wolke eingehüllte Grüsse
Und von der Lippe abgepflückte eben erst erblühte Küsse.
Bevor ich schwärmend in den Morgen fliesse.
