Lieben, von ganzer Seele, Lieben herzinniglich, Daß nimmer ich's verhehle, Heiß lieben muß ich dich! Wie's kommt? wie kann ich's wissen? Wohl höher schlägt mein Herz, Wenn deine Augen grüßen: Gehst du, erbebts im Schmerz, Erbebt im heißen Glühen, Im still verschwiegnen Rausch, Und Tränen überziehen Den Blick im Wechseltausch. Lieben, von ganzer Seele, muß ich dich! Du wirst mich nie umschließen, Nie wird dein Aug' mir glühn! Der Sehnsucht still Vermissen Wird nie dich zu mir ziehn! So hoffnungslos mein Lieben? Gewiß! doch trostlos nicht! Will Gegenwart nicht trüben, Zukunft? kenn' ich ja nicht! Will auch der Trennungsstunde Schmerz düster mich umwehn, Lächle mit bleichem Munde: Jenseits ist Wiedersehn!

Liefde wil 'k met jou delen, Liefde, dierbaarste vrouw, Dat nimmer ik 't verhele, Warm koest'ren moet ik jou! Hoe 't komt? Zou 'k weten moeten? Maar sneller slaat mijn hart, Als mij jouw ogen groeten: Ga jij, dan beeft 't van smart, Het beeft en gloeit volkomen, In stil verzwegen roes, En tranen overstromen Mijn blik toch weer pardoes. Liefde, totale liefde voel 'k voor jou! Jij zult mij nimmer kussen, Nooit kijk jij mij nog aan! Verlangen, smachten, missen Zal nooit jou op doen staan! Is 't liefde zonder hopen? Beslist, maar troostloos niet! Het heden houd ik open, Toekomst? Heb ik toch niet! Al hult het uur van scheiden Nu duister mij in pijn, Glimlach ondanks je lijden: Elders zal weerzien zijn!
