Über meinen Nächten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Über meinen Nächten Träumt ein leiser, goldner Klang; Scheues Flüstern in den Halmen, Dunkles Rauschen fremder Palmen, Halbverwehter Liebessang. Über meinen Nächten Glühn und leuchten grosse Sterne, Sonnenhaft aus tiefem Blau; Deine Augen, schöne Frau, Grüßen mich aus weiter Ferne... Über meinen Nächten Weint ein unvergessenes Weh; Daß ich deine Lilienreinheit, Deiner Locken Glanz und Feinheit Niemals widerseh'.
