Warum denn? 
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zum Frühling darf ich's sagen,
Daß er so mild und lau;
Den Himmel darf ich loben,
Daß er so lieblich blau.
		
Es ist mir nicht verboten,
Zu rühmen der Sonne Gold;
Und der Rose darf ich's entdecken,
Daß ihr mein Herz so hold

Und Allem, was schön ich finde,
Darf gesteh'n ich's zu jeder Frist;
Nur Dir darf ich's nicht sagen,
Wie herzlich lieb Du mir bist.
