by Joseph Christian Freiherr von Zedlitz (1796 - 1869)

Wenn ich an Deiner Seite
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wenn ich an Deiner Seite
Im Abenddunkel geh',
Den Mond und sein Geleite,
Die tausend Sterne seh',

Dann möcht' ich den Mond umfangen
Und drücken an meine Brust,
Die Sterne herunter langen
In voller, sel'ger Lust!

Mit ihnen die Locken Dir schmücken!
Und schmücken die schöne Brust,
Ich möcht' Dich schmücken und drücken,
Und sterben vor Wonn' und Lust! --
