by Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie, Herzogin in Bayern (1837 - 1898)
O hätt' ich so viel Lieder
Language: German (Deutsch)
O hätt' ich so viel Lieder, Als Wellen du, mein Meer! Ich [schriebe]1 sie [dir]2 nieder, Und brächte sie dir her. Mein ganzes Fühlen, Denken, Ja, all mein [irdnes]3 Sein, [Ich wollt's in dich]4 versenken, Du mein [kristallener]5 Schrein, Du meiner Augen Weide, Du meines Hierseins Glück, Früh meine erste Freude Und nachts mein letzter Blick.
