by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)

Ach, welche Schmeichelworte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ach, welche Schmeichelworte,
Ach, welche süße Namen,
Zu nennen und zu rufen
Dich, o mein Licht, erdenk' ich?
Denn was ich auch ersinne, 
Es scheint mir leer und todt.

Herz, Seele, Geist und Leben 
Vor deine Füße leg' ich;
Auf sie die Sohle setze,
Laß unter ihrem Tritte 
Hinsterben all mein Dasein! 
Es ist genug der Wonne,
Es ist genug des Heils.
