Hvilende, Lukkende Tæt Dig i Favn, Smilende, Sukkende Henrykt dit Navn, Kjæler jeg, Dyssende Sorgen i Blund, Stjæler jeg Kyssende Liv fra din Mund. Vinger den Svævende Tanke mon faae, Bringer den Bævende Barm til at slaae; Mødes de Smægtende Længseler da, Nødes de Nægtende Blik til et Ja!

Selig mich wärmend an wogender Brust
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Selig mich wärmend an wogender Brust, Nenn' ich Dich schwärmend, in lächelnder Lust, Träume Nichts wissend von Sorgen nicht wund, Stehle Dir küssend das Leben vom Mund. Wenn so entschwebet der Geist himmelwärts, Bringet zum Beben er mein und dein Herz, Sehnend die schlagenden treffen sich da, Nöth'gen die zagenden Blicke zum Ja!
