by Jakob Emil Rothenbach (1833 - 1900)

Odem der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Windstoß nahm mir von der Kerze
die Flamme weg. [Noch glimmte fort]1
der Docht. Ich blies ihm Odem zu;
da fing er Feuer wieder.
Mein Licht ist ausgelöscht. [Noch]2 glimmt
[der Docht]3. [Schnell]4 hauche du
ihm neuen Odem zu:
Licht, Liebe, Leben, Lieder.
