Night Secret
by Else Lasker-SchŸler

translation
Janine Canan

I have chosen you
among all these stars.

Am awake, a listening flower
in the buzzing bush.

Our lips long to make honey,
our shimmering nights in full bloom.

From your body's holy spark
my heart lights its heavens.

All my dreams hang from your gold.
I have chosen you among all these stars.
