by Hermann Wilhelm Franz Ueltzen (1759 - 1808)

Namen nennen dich nicht. Dich bilden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Namen nennen dich nicht. Dich bilden
Griffel und Pinsel
Sterblicher Künstler nich nach.  

Lieder singen dich nicht. Sie alle
Reden wie Nachhall
Fernester Zeiten, von dir. 

Wie du lebest und bist, so trag' ich
Einzig im Herzen,
Theuerstes Mädchen, dein Bild. 

Wäre Herzens-Empfindung hörbar;
Jeder Gedanke
Würde dann Hymnus von dir.

Lieben kann ich dich nur. Die Lieder,
Wie ich dich liebe, 
Spar' ich der Ewigkeit auf.
