by Helene Johanna Charlotte Sarganek (b. 1855), as Hanna Ehlen

Wenn ich's nur wüßt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Er hat mich im Traum geküßt,
Wenn ich ach! wenn ich's nur wüßt!
Macht mir gar arge Pein:
Ob es mag Sünde sein?

Fühle ach! fühle zur Stund
Immer noch brennen den Mund,
's drang bis in's Herz hinein
Wie jetzt der Sonnenschein.

Habe nicht Rast mehr noch Ruh,
Seufze und sinn' immer zu!
Wenn ich ach! wenn ich nur wüßt,
Ob er mich wieder so küßt.
