by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

O laß mich lauschen, laß mich lispeln,...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O laß mich lauschen, laß mich lispeln, kosen 
Mit dir, du Geist der Mondscheinnacht! 
Du hast aus deinen Lilien, deinen Rosen
Den Gruß der Liebe mir gebracht.
Wie athm' ich aus in deiner reinen Helle,
Du Auge das so freundlich lacht! 
Zum Traum geschöpft aus deiner Strahlenquelle 
Verklärt sich meine Erdennacht.
