Was weht um meine Schläfe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Was weht um meine Schläfe Wie laue Frühlingsluft, Was spielt um meine Wangen Wie süßer Rosenduft? Es ist dein holder Gedanke, Der tröstend mich umspielt, Es ist dein stilles Sehnen, Was meine Schläfe kühlt! Und was wie Harfenklänge Um meine Sinne schwirrt, Mein Name ist's, der leise Von deinen Lippen irrt. Ich fühle deine Nähe! Es ist dein Wunsch, dein Geist, Der mich aus weiter Ferne An deinen Busen reißt.
