Dann losch das Licht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Dann losch das Licht, und durch die Stille nur noch dein Herzschlag ... Seligkeit! Im Garten, frühauf, pfiff ein Vogel, von tausend Gräsern troff der Thau, der ganze Himmel stand in Rosen. Lieber! Liebe! Und wieder: Kuss auf Kuss ... Was kann die Welt uns jetzt noch bieten!
