by Ludwig I, König von Bayern (1786 - 1868)

Hüte dich vor Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hüte dich vor Liebe,
Sie giebt Lebensqual;
Daß sie fern doch bliebe
Nach dem erstenmal!

Aber wer empfunden
Niemals ihre Macht,
Diesem ist verschwunden
Leben eine Nacht.

Er beschloß sein Leben,
Ehe er gelebt;
Kennet nicht daö Schweben,
Das zum Himmel hebt.

Heiliges Empfinden!
Höchste Seligkeit!
Leiden euch umwinden,
Nie von Pein befreyt.

Seyd nur zu erwerben
Mit des Lebens Glück,
Tausendmal'ges Sterben
Für den Augenblick.
