Nur einmal blüht die Stunde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So du ein Herz gefunden,
das Liebe hegt und trägt,
und so du selbst empfunden,
wie Lieb' im Busen schlägt,
so gib dem schönen Bunde
mit Freuden deine Hand;
nur einmal blüht die Stunde,
wo Herz zu Herz sich fand!

Und siehst du wo zwei Herzen
in stiller Liebe glüh'n,
um immer sie zu quälen
musst du von dannen zieh'n!
Wie oft durch And'rer Kunde
zerriss das schöne Band!
Nur einmal blüht die Stunde,
wo Herz zu Herz sich fand!

Was liebend sich vereinet,
o brich es nicht entzwei!
Es bühet für die Liebe
ja nur ein einz'ger Mai!
Viel Blumen blüh'n im Grunde
und blühen an dem Strand;
nur einmal blüht die Stunde,
wo Herz zu Herz sich fand!
