by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)

Weißt du noch, wie weiß, wie bleich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Weißt du noch, wie weiß, wie bleich
in den Maiendämmerungen,
wenn ich lag, von dir umschlungen,
dir zu Füßen hingerissen,
um uns schwankten die Narzissen?

Weißt du noch, wie heiß, wie weich
in den blauen Juninächten,
wenn wir, müde von den Küssen,
um uns flochten deine Flechten,
Düfte hauchten die Narzissen?

Wieder leuchten dir zu Füßen,
wenn die Dämmerungen sinken,
wenn die blauen Nächte blinken,
wieder duften die Narzissen.
Weißt du noch, wie heiß? wie bleich?
