Ob ich Dich liebe? Frage die Sterne,
Denen ich oft meine Klagen vertraut.
Ob ich Dich liebe? Frage die Rose,
Die ich Dir sende, von Thränen bethaut.

Ob ich Dich liebe? Frage die Wolken,
Denen ich oft meine Botschaft vertraut.
Ob ich Dich liebe? Frage die Wellen:
Ich hab' in jeder Dein Bildniß geschaut. --

Wenn Du mich liebtest, himmlisches Mädchen,
O dann gestände ich Dir es auch laut:
Wie ich Dich liebe, daß ich Dich nenne
Stets meinen Engel und bald meine Braut.
