by Robert Hamerling (1830 - 1889)

Heiliger Hafis, beschreien
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Heiliger Hafis, beschreien
Mag der Schwarm dich der Philister,
Ich doch will wie du mich weihen
Zu der Liebe hohem Priester!

Mir auch allzustraff gespannt schien
Deines kühnen Sanges Bogen,
Aber seit ich selbst entbrannt bin,
Schwimmend in der Liebe Wogen,

Fühl' ich, daß des Occidentes
Frost in mir nun aufgethaut ist,
Daß auch mir des Orientes
Liebesrose Herzensbraut ist!

Weih' ich mich dem Dienst der Rose,
Wird mein Sein erblüh'n zum Allsein,
Und mein Herz in ihrem Schoße
Eine süße Nachtigall sein!
