by (Karl) Wolfgang Müller von Königswinter (1816 - 1873)

Tief Blick in Blick
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Tief Blick in Blick, heiß Mund an Mund, 
Laß Herz am Herzen schlagen! 
Doch was die [Lieb' ist, liebes]1 Kind,
Das mußt du mich nicht fragen! 

Wer wahrhaft liebt, der hat nicht Zeit,
[sie]2 in das Wort zu binden;
wer einst geliebt, dem liegt es weit,
er wird es nicht mehr finden.

Was soll das Wort? -- Den sel'gen Blick,
Den stillen Druck der Hände,
Den heißen Kuß erschöpfst du nicht 
In [Worten sonder]3 Ende.

O liebe nur, o liebe nur, 
O seufze, schmachte, weine, 
O juble, [lach']4, in allem bleibt
die Lieb', die ewig eine.

Tief Blick in Blick, heiß Mund an Mund,
Laß Herz am Herzen schlagen! 
Doch was die [Lieb' ist, liebes]1 Kind,
Das mußt du mich nicht fragen!
