Ich schnitt' es gern in alle Rinden ein!

Language: German (Deutsch) 

Ich schnitt' es gern in alle Rinden ein!
Ich grüb' es gern in jeden Kieselstein!
Ich möcht' es sä’n in jedes grüne Beet
Mit Kressen-Samen, der es schnell verräth!
Auf jedes leere Blättchen möcht' ich's schreieben: --
Dein ist mein Herz und wird es ewig bleiben! --
 
Könnt' ich's, ich macht' es allen Wesen kund,
Ich wollt', mit mir spräch's jeder Menschenmund,
Ach! säng' es doch der Nachtigallen-Chor,
Ach! träg' es doch die munt're Lerche vor,
O! könnt' ich's täglich tausendmal Dir schreiben: --
Dein ist mein Herz und wird es ewig bleiben! --
 
Wie selig ist, wer Dich die Seine nennt!
Dem deiner Liebe schöne Flamme brennt!
Wohl mir! ich habe dieses Glück erstrebt,
Hab' meines Daseyns Hochgenuß erlebt,
Mit meinem Blut möcht' sterbend ich's noch schreiben:
Dein ist mein Herz und wird es ewig bleiben! --
