by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Abends
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Warum duften die Levkoien so viel schöner bei der Nacht?
Warum brennen deine Lippen so viel röter bei der Nacht?
Warum ist in meinem Herzen so die Sehnsucht auferwacht,
Diese brennend roten Lippen dir zu küssen bei der Nacht?
