Unvergänglichkeit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Deine edlen weißen Hände Legen meine Seel' zur Ruh', Wenn sie meinen Scheitel segnen, Schließ' ich meine Augen zu Und sag' nur leise: Du! Und Welten sinken in ein Nichts, Die Meere rauschen dumpf und weit; Deine edlen weißen Hände Sind mir Unvergänglichkeit.
