by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Stör nicht den Schlaf der liebsten Frau,...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Stör nicht den Schlaf der liebsten Frau, mein Licht!
Stör ihren zarten, zarten Schlummer nicht.

Wie ist sie ferne jetzt. Und doch so nah.
Ein Flüstern - und sie wäre wieder da.

Sei still, mein Herz, sei stiller noch, mein Mund,
mit Engeln redet wohl ihr Geist zur Stund.
