by (Karl) Ludwig Pfau (1821 - 1894)

Zum letzten Mal
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Nun]1 muß ich dich, du Teure, lassen,
Und blieb mir keine andre Wahl,
So laß noch einmal dich umfassen -
O einmal noch, zum letzten Mal!

In deinen Armen laß mich liegen
Und, wie der Kelch im Sonnenstrahl,
In deinem holden Blick mich wiegen -
O einmal noch, zum letzten Mal!

An deinen Busen laß mich sinken
Und durst'ge Küsse ohne Zahl
Von deinen süßen Lippen trinken -
O einmal noch, zum letzten Mal!

Laß mich ins tiefste Herz dich drücken,
Mit dieser Stunde sel'ger Qual
Will ich mein ganzes Leben schmücken -
O einmal noch, zum letzten Male!
