by John Henry Mackay (1864 - 1933)

Singe! Singe! ‑‑ Du singst meine Seele
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Singe! Singe! -- Du singst meine Seele
  In einen süßen, berückenden Traum,
Meine Gefühle, die sonst ich verbeble,
  Liegen jetzt offen - ich ahne es kaum.

Singe! Singe! -- Denn mit deinen Tönen 
  Weckst du im Kerzen mir schauernde Lust.
Und ein Abglanz des ewigen Schönen 
  Bebt durch die leise nur achmende Brust,

Singe! Singe! -- Wie heimatlich Grüßen, 
  Aus jener Zeit, die lange schon schied,
Dringen ins Ohr mir die Töne, die süßen, 
  Dringt in die Seele tief mir dein Lied!
