by Karl Isidor Beck (1817 - 1879)

Und liebst du mich?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und liebst du mich?
Du kannst mir Liebe schwören,
Kein Lauscher kann uns hören,  --
Mein Fragen nur erweckte dich,
Mein Fragen nur erschreckte dich:
Wie des Schlängleins Rascheln im Paradies,
Das die verbot'nen Äpfel pries  -- 
Laß rascheln, laß kommen, was kümmerts dich?
Nur liebe mich! 

Und liebst du mich? 
Wir können Küsse tauschen,
Wer soll uns denn belauschen?
Mein Fragen nur erweckte dich,
Mein Fragen nur erschreckte dich:
Wie das Plätschern, das Rauschen im stillen Quell,
Wirfst du hinunter ein Steinchen schnell  -- 
Laß plätschern, laß rauschen, was kümmerts dich? 
Nur liebe mich!
