by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Wie's nach Leben wittert überall umher!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie's nach Leben wittert überall umher!
Dieser Weihrauchhimmel! Dieses Blüthenmeer!
Ein Gefühl die Welt, und Eins nur ich!
Meieli, Komm! Küsse mich!

Ist dein blaues Auge mir der Himmel nur?
Und mein Leben bunte Wies' und grüne Flur?
Frühling, nimm mich in dein Morgenroth
Meielis Auge sei mein Tod!
