by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Ja, überselig hast du mich gemacht!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ja, überselig hast du mich gemacht!
Der allerlängste Tag, er reicht nicht hin,
Und [viel zu kurz]1 ist jeder Traum der Nacht,
Zu denken, wie ich überselig bin.
Ich fühl's, um dieser Wonne ganz zu leben,
Muß Gott mir noch ein zweites Leben geben.
