Wenn du mir vorüberwandelst

Wenn du mir vorüberwandelst,
Und dein Kleid berührt mich nur,
Jubelt dir mein Herz, und stürmisch
Folgt es deiner schönen Spur.

Dann drehst du dich um, und schaust mich
Mit den großen Augen an,
Und mein Herz ist so erschrocken,
Daß es kaum dir folgen kann.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Neue Gedichte, in Neuer Frühling, no. 14
