by August Ferdinand Meyer (1811 - 1894), as Brunold

Liebe plaudert nicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Unterm grünen Lindenbaum
Haben Zwei vollkommen Raum,
Vöglein hoch im laub'gen Dach
Lauscht und singt, doch sagt nichts nach. 

An des Sees Uferrand
Können gehn wir Hand in Hand;
Welle wogt im Wellenschlag
Still vorbei, doch sagt nichts nach. 

Einsam es im Walde ist,
Wald nicht sieht es, wer dich küßt;
Was die Lippe Liebes sprach, 
Wind, der hört's, doch sagt nichts nach. 

Wald und Vogel, Well' und Wind,
Alle wohl verschwiegen sind;
Wie's die Liebe treiben mag,
Liebe plaudert es nicht nach. 

Confirmed with Ost und West. Blätter für Kunst, Literatur und geselliges Leben, dritter Jahrgang, ed. by Rudolph Glaser, Prag: R. Gerzabek, 1839. Appears in Samstag den 13. April, issue no. 30, page 121.
