by Karl Andreas Bernbrunn (c1787 - 1854), as Carl Carl

Freundschaft und Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gern möcht' ich zu dir eilen
und immer bei dir weilen;
wär' ich ein Vöglein hier,
flög' ich sogleich zu dir.

Kennst du der Freundschaft Sehnen,
Kennst du der Liebe Freud' und Schmerz,
wenn das beklommen bange Herz
dir seine Sehnsucht will erklären?

Kennst du der Perlen Sympathien,
wenn Geist und Herz empfinden,
dass ihre reinen Harmonien
sich stets in Liebe wiederfinden?

So rein, so seelenvoll zu lieben
und für einander treu zu fühlen,
das ist der Freundschaft schönstes Glück,
das ist der Liebe höchstes Glück!
