by Otto Roquette (1824 - 1896)

Ein Wort von deinem Munde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ein Wort von deinem Munde,
Das mir herüber klang,
Tönt mir wie eine Kunde
Von goldnem Märchensang.
Durch meine Seele rauschen
Die goldnen Klänge all,
Und alle Tiefen lauschen
Dem süßen Wiederhall.

Ein Blick von deinem Auge,
Mein ganzer Himmel du! 
Bringt mit Versöhnungshauche 
Mein ganzes Herz zur Ruh.
So schicken seelge Mächte 
Vom blauen Himmelsthor 
Durch warme Sommernächte 
Ein leuchtend Meteor.

Confirmed with Otto Roquette, Liederbuch, Stuttgart und Tübingen: J.G. Cotta’scher Verlag, 1852, page 67
