Juninacht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Weiche Lichteswellen träumen
In die warme Juninacht.
Leise atmen alle Blumen
Ihrer Seele süße Düfte
In die leichten lauen Winde,
Die tief in den Zweigen singen
Stille, wehmutsvolle Lieder
Müde schwere Sehnsuchtsworte,
Die in unserm Herzen klingen,
Die wir suchen, niemals finden
Aber dennoch stets verstehn,
Wenn die lauen Juninächte
Ihre Sehnsuchtsmelodien
Durch die dunklen Zweigen wehn . . .

Confirmed with Stefan Zweig, Silberne Saiten; Gedichte, Berlin und Leipzig: Schuster & Loeffler, 1901, page 29.
