by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)
In meiner Nächte Sehnen
Language: German (Deutsch)
In meiner Nächte Sehnen, So tief allein, Mit tausend, tausend Tränen, Gedenk' ich dein. Ach, wer dein Antlitz schaute, Wem dein Gemüt Die schöne Glut vertraute, Die es durchglüht, Wem deine Küsse brannten, Wem je vor Lust All seine Sinne schwanden An deiner Brust - Wie rasteten in Frieden Ihm Seel' und Leib, Wenn er von dir geschieden, Du göttlich Weib!
