by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

O Liebster! nie hab' ich geahnt in...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Liebster! nie hab' ich geahnt in Träumen,
Daß solche reiche Lust
Platz haben könn' in allen Himmelsräumen,
Geschweig' in Menschenbrust.

O Liebster! wie ich heut in stillem Frieden
An deinem Busen lag,
Fühlt' ich, daß einem Herzen es hienieden
Nicht besser werden mag.
