by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Der Ganges rauscht, mit klugen Augen...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Ganges rauscht, mit klugen Augen schauen
Die Antilopen aus dem Laub, sie springen
Herbei mutwillig, ihre bunten Schwingen
Entfaltend, wandeln stolzgespreizte Pfauen.

Tief aus dem Herzen der bestrahlten Auen
Blumengeschlechter, viele neue, dringen,
Sehnsuchtberauscht ertönt Kokilas Singen -
Ja, du bist schön, du schönste aller Frauen!

Gott Kama lauscht aus allen deinen Zügen,
Er wohnt in deines Busens weißen Zelten,
Und haucht aus dir die lieblichsten Gesänge;

Ich sah Wassant auf deinen Lippen liegen,
In deinem Aug' entdeck ich neue Welten,
Und in der eignen Welt wirds mir zu enge.
