by Julius Hart (1859 - 1930)

Zierlich an meiner Seite schrittest du...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zierlich an meiner Seite schrittest du hin, 
Und träumend ging ich, von deiner Nähe 
Glänzend umleuchtet, gleichwie vom milden
Lichte rötlicher Morgenwölkchen . . . 

Leise streifte mich deines Mundes Atem,  
Und mir war's, als fiel ich schauernden Blutes 
Unter Rosen und blühenden Flieder nieder . . . 

Deine Hände, weich wie die Blätter der Kirschenblüte, 
Deine weißen, zierlichen Kinderhändchen 
Drück ich an mein liebendes Herz: 

O ewig  --  ewig 
Laß mich halten so die glückliche Hand, 
Drücken an mein liebendes Herz  --  -- 
Ewig  --  ewig.
