by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Ich suche durch Mühen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich suche durch Mühen
Meine Gedanken
Von Dir zu lenken,
Aber sie glühen
Zu Dir ohne Wanken,
Ich muss Dein gedenken!
Wie nach der Sonne verlangen die Reben,
[Verlangt]1 mich's nach Dir, meine Sonne, mein Leben!
