Ewige Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es zieht ein weisses Segel
Hinaus ins weite Meer;
Mein Lieb ist fortgezogen,
Und kehret nimmermehr.

Soviel der Wasser rinnen
Ins weite Meer hinein,
Sie waschen nun und nimmer
Das falsche Herz dir rein.

Und kann dich doch nicht lassen,
Und hab' nicht Rast, noch Ruh',
Hab' dir mein Lieb' gegeben,
Meine Treue all' dazu:

Und willst du wiederkehren,
Und heissest mich wieder dein,
Ich will nicht fragen,noch zweifeln,
Nur lieben, lieben allein;

Will ruhen an deinem Herzen,
Nicht sorgen und traurig sein,
Ich will nicht fragen, noch zweifeln,
Nur ewig lieben allein.
