by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)
Sieghafte Lust
Language: German (Deutsch)
In deinem Arm, an deinem Herzen -- O sag', was hat die Erde noch? Und brächte sie mir tausend Schmerzen Nach diesem Tag, ich jauchzte doch! Und gilt es, durch die Dunkelheiten Der letzten, großen Nacht zu gehn: Der Schimmer dieser Seligkeiten Wird leuchtend überm Wege stehn!
