by Robert Julius Eugen Labes (1834 - 1915)

Mein Herz, mein Lieb, mein Augenstern
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Herz, mein Lieb, mein Augenstern, 
Mir fehlt der Name Dich zu nennen, 
Mit dem ich, Du mein Alles, gern  
Dich möchte vor der Welt bekennen, 
Und nur ein Nachhall, ein Akkord, 
Tönt Alles in dem einen Wort: 
Maria!   

Ich möchte, was das Herz bewegt, 
Belauschen, es in Töne fassen, 
Was selig mich auf Schwingen trägt 
Im Liede laut Dir tönen lassen, 
Und nur ein leiser Wiederhall 
Tönt in des einen Wortes Schall: 
Maria!
