by Johann Paul Friedrich Richter (1763 - 1825), as Jean Paul
Translation

An Wina 
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Wär' ich ein Stern, ich wollt' ihr leuchten!
Wär' ich die Rose, ich wollt' ihr blühen!
Wär' ich ein Ton, ich dränge ihr ins Herz,
wär' ich die Liebe, ich bliebe darin.
Ach, wär' ich nur ein Traum!
Ich wollt' in ihren Schlummer zieh'n,
ihr Rose, Liebe, alles sein
und gern verschwinden, wenn sie erwachte.
