by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Im Lampenschein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Das ist ein lieb Beisammen sein,
Wenn über uns die Wanduhr tickt
Und dir der Arbeitslampe Schein
So voll ins frohe Antlitz blickt!

Ich rühr' dich manchmal heimlich an,
Nur, daß ich weiß: ich h a b e dich --
Dann lächelst du, geliebter Mann,
Und nickst mir zu und küssest mich!

Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Befreiung. Neue Gedichte, Fünfte Auflage, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 14.
