by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Dein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein ganzes Leben ist nun dein für immer,
Und jeder Athemzug ist eine Frage,
Ob du mich lieb hast? -- Ach, ich weiß es nimmer,
Ob ich's beneiden soll, ob ich's beklage!

Du bist die Kraft, wenn ich ermattet schwanke,
Du bist die Sonne, wenn mein Tag wird trübe;
Und geh' ich schlafen, ist's mein Nachtgedanke,
Ob du mich lieb hast -- so wie ich dich liebe?

Confirmed with Wanderzeit. Ein Liederbuch von Karl Stieler, Stuttgart, Verlag von Adolf Bonz & Comp., 1882, page 25.
