by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Nun weiß ich's für ewig! Und kann es...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun weiß ich's für ewig! Und kann es denn sein,
dass mein du, o Holde, wahrhaftig nun mein?

Das Herz will mir brechen vor Wonn' und vor Lust!
Dass Liebe so drückend, ich hab's nicht gewusst!

Ach, wenn ich's mag sagen, ich Keinen ja find',
der's gänzlich verstünde, wie glücklich wir sind!

So will ich denn gehen hinaus in den Wald,
da lauschen die Blumen, die Vögel mit bald!

Will künden dem Winde, dem frischen, mein Glück,
dass treulich er bringe mein Lied dir zurück.

Nun weiß ich's für ewig! Und kann es denn sein,
dass mein du, o Holde, wahrhaftig nun mein!
