by Max Dauthendey (1867 - 1918)

Himmelfahrtstag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Niemals ich je in einen andern Himmel mag
Als den, in dem ich immer selig lag,
In deinem Arm, wo alle Erde still
Zu deinen Füßen lehnt und nichts mehr will.
Dein Haar mit seiner wogenden Gebärde,
Dein Aug' mit seiner Lichterschar
Und deine Brust, an der ich wunschlos werde,
Sie aller Himmel allerhöchste Lust mir sind.
Lieb' ist die Himmelfahrt für jedes Erdenkind.

Confirmed with Max Dauthendey, Das Schönste von Max Dauthendey, Editor: Walter von Molo, München : Albert Langen, 1919 , p.170
