Wie neubegierig die Möwe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie neubegierig die Möwe Nach uns herüberblickt, Weil ich an deine Lippen So fest mein Ohr gedrückt! Sie möchte gerne wissen, Was deinem Mund entquillt, Ob du mein Ohr mit Küssen Oder mit Worten gefüllt? Wenn ich nur selber wüßte, Was mir in die Seele zischt! Die Worte und die Küsse Sind wunderbar vermischt.
