by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)
Im Sessel du, und ich zu deinen Füßen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Im Sessel du, und ich zu deinen Füßen - Das Haupt zu dir gewendet, saßen wir; Und sanfter fühlten wir die Stunden fließen, Und stiller ward es zwischen mir und dir; Bis unsre Augen ineinander sanken Und wir berauscht der Seele Atem tranken.
