by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

O ruhe sanft an meiner Brust
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O ruhe sanft an meiner Brust!
Ich schau' in's Antlitz dir voll Lust:
Kein Stern hat so demant'nen Schein,
Als wie dein Auge hell und rein.
 
O ruhe sanft an meiner Brust!
Ich streichle deine Hand voll Lust:
Nicht ein Jasmin ist mir bekannt,
Der weißer ist als diese Hand.
 
O ruhe sanft an meiner Brust!
Ich küsse deinen Mund voll Lust:
O welche Palm' im Paradies
Hat Frucht, wie dieser Kuß so süß?
