Dann losch das Licht

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!

by Arno Holz (1863-1929) , "Dann losch das Licht", from Phantasus
