by Ricarda Octavia Huch (1864 - 1947)

Am Klavier
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Die laß mich hören, alte Töne,
Die duften Erinnerungen:
Vergangne Zeit, traurige, schöne,
Silbern Meer, summende Heide,
Rast und Traum auf ewigen Steinen,
Vom Himmel umschlungen
Wir beide,
Fülle des Glücks, verhaltenes Weinen.

Dein Küsse sind so:
Süß wie einst, süßer als einst.
Was du denkst, was du hoffst, was du weinst,
Was in Jahren entfloh,
Ungeküßter Küsse Glut,
Ungestillter Sehnsucht Drang,
Götterkraft, Jugendblut,
Liebe das Leben lang
Überglüht mich heiß,
Überfließt mich ganz,
Wie von den Bergen Weiß
Des Mondes fließt,
Fern ferner Sonnenglanz,
Durch Nacht versüßt.

Confirmed with Ricarda Huch, Liebesgedichte, Wiesbaden: Insel-Verlag, 1952, page 49.
