by Hedwig Kiesekamp (1844 - 1919)

Geisternähe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn der Wind mir Stirn und Wange 
schmeichelnd kühlt mit sanftem Kuss
fühl ich deines Athems Wehen, 
deines Auges holden Gruss!

In des Waldes Wipfel Rauschen 
hör ich deiner Stimme Klang,
in dem Riesellaut der Quelle 
deinen lieblichen, lieblichen Gesang!

Stille Nacht haucht' deinen Namen,
Erd und Himmel, Luft und Meer
zaubern deiner Schönheit Hülle,
deine Nähe um mich her.
