by Ludwig Jacobowski (1868 - 1900)

Maienblüten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Duld' es still, wenn von den Zweigen
[Von den überfüllten Zweigen]1,
Blüten weh'n ins fromme Haar,
Und sich sacht [herüberneigen]2, 
[So im Durst herüberneigen,]3
[Lippen sich]4 auf Lippenpaar.

Sieh, ein [Beben]5 süß und wunderlich
Rinnt durch übersonnte Blätterreihen.
Alle Blüten, die sie niederstreuen,
[Segen streuen]6 sie auf dich und mich.
