Andre beten zur Madonne

Andre beten zur Madonne,
Andre auch zu Paul und Peter;
Ich jedoch, ich will nur beten,
Nur zu dir, du schöne Sonne.

Gib mir Küsse, gib mir Wonne,
Sei mir gütig, sei mir gnädig,
Schönste Sonne unter den Mädchen,
Schönstes Mädchen unter der Sonne!

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Buch der Lieder, in Die Heimkehr, no. 52
