by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Darf ich nie sein hienieden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Darf ich nie sein hienieden,
Was ich dir möchte sein,
So will ich auch geschieden
Noch immer denken dein.

So will ich sein die Kerze,
Die gerne sich verzehrt,
Und dich in ihrem Schmerze
Noch sterbend liebt und ehrt.

So will ich sein die Quelle,
Die gerne sich ergießt,
Dein denkt in jeder Welle
Und so in's Weltmeer fließt.

So will ich sein die Pflanze,
Die dir ums Haupt sich flicht
Und sterbend dir vom Kranze
Noch ruft: vergiß mein nicht!
