by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

Holdseliger Mund der Liebsten mein!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Holdseliger Mund der Liebsten mein!
Du bist so sanft gebogen, so fein,
Wie der Mond am Himmel; dich müssen
Bewundern, die dich schau'n; doch ich allein,
  Ich darf dich küssen.

Holdseliger Mund der Liebsten mein!
Dein Lächeln nimmt alle Herzen ein,
Du sprichst in Bildern und kühnen Schlüssen,
Die Alle bezaubern; doch ich allein,
  Ich darf dich küssen!
