from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Ottilie Kleinschrod, née Stieler (1830 - 1913), as Ottilie Malybrok

Gestörte Andacht
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Czech (Čeština) 
Seh' ich dich an heil'ger Stätte
betend zum Altare knie'n,
fühl' ich meines Herzens Andacht
hin zu dir Geliebte zieh'n.

Liebt' ich Gott, wie dich ich liebe,
so herzinnig treu und wahr,
längst wär' heilig ich gesprochen,
gleich des Himmels sel'ger Schaar!

Seh' ich dich an heil'ger Stätte,
möcht' ich fromm sein wie du's bist,
doch wie kann ich Gott noch geben,
was nicht mehr mein eigen ist?

Dir gehört mein Sein und Leben,
Alles was ich bin und hab',
sprich, was blieb für Gott mir übrig,
da ich längst dir Alles gab?
