An deine Schneeweiße Schulter

An Liebchens schneeweisse Schulter
Hab' leise mein Haupt ich geschmiegt
Und habe mich bebenden Herzens
In wonnige Träume gewiegt.

Du wirst mich vielleicht bald verlassen,
Doch heute noch, heut' bist du mein;
Und ich will in deiner Umarmung
Noch grenzenlos glückselig sein.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
