Der Sonne entgegen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Sonne entgegen In Liebesgluten Wandr' ich... o Wonne, Wer mäße dein Maß! Mit Reif bepudert Prangen die Wälder, Die Berge grüßen Das blendende Licht. Vor Eiseskälte Knirschen die Schritte, Der Hauch des Mundes Ballt sich zu Dampf... Ich trage Feuer In meinem Herzen, Mich brennt die Liebe, Das schlimme Kind. Sie schürt die Flamme Mit hastigen Händen, Die Kohlen knistern, Der Wohlduft quillt, Der Sonne entgegen Im Liebesgluten Wandr' ich... o Wonne, Wer mäße dein Maß!
