by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Wie du mir oft, geliebtes Kind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie du mir oft, geliebtes Kind,
Ich weiß nicht wie, so fremde bist!
Wenn wir im Schwarm der vielen Menschen sind,
Das schlägt mir alle Freude nieder.
Doch ja, wenn alles still und finster um uns ist,
Erkenn' ich dich an deinen Küssen wieder.
