by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Deine Rosen an der Brust
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Deine Rosen an der Brust,
sitz' ich unter fremden Menschen,
laß sie reden, laß sie lärmen,
jung Geheimnis tief im Herzen.

Wenn ich einstimm' in ihr Lachen,
ist's das Lachen meiner Liebe;
wenn ich ernst dem Nachbar lausche,
lausch' ich selig still nach innen.

Einen ganzen langen Abend
muß ich fern dir, Liebster, weilen,
küssend heimlich, ohne Ende,
deine Rosen an der Brust.
