by (Friedrich) Emil Rittershaus (1834 - 1897)

Dich suchen meines Geists Gedanken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dich suchen meines Geists Gedanken; 
Dich sucht mein Traum in dunkler Nacht! 
Es ist ein tiefgeheimes Kranken
Und Wonne doch, die selig macht!  

Wo ich auch geh', auf allen Wegen
Dein Bild vor meiner Seele steht.
Ein Gruß an Dich!  --  mein Morgensegen!
Ein Wunsch für Dich!  --  mein Nachtgebet!
