by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Denkst du an mich?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein grünes Spinnchen gaukelte
Mir um die Schläfe luftig,
Und wiegte sich und schaukelte 
Sich an dem Fädchen duftig:
Denkst Du an mich?
O, denkst Du an mich?

Ich hörte einem Ton so fein
Mir in den Ohren klingen,
Als thät ein Elfenknab' im Hain
Der Ros' ein Ständchen bringen.
Denkst Du an mich?
O, denkst Du an mich?

O spinn den Faden nur recht lang,
[O]1 Glücksspinn' um die Schläfe,
Ach wenn doch stets so süßer Klang
In's bange Herz mir träfe!
O. denk an mich! O, denk an mich!
