by August von Platen-Hallermünde (1796 - 1835)

Du scheust, mit mir allein zu sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du scheust, mit mir allein zu sein,
Du bist so schroff:
Gibt nicht der Liebe Lust und Pein
Zum Reden Stoff?

Wo nicht, was gilt der Lieb' ein Wo,
Ein Wie, ein Was?
Zu lieben und zu schweigen, o
Wie lieb ich das!

Ich schweige, weil so kalt du scheinst,
Und unerweicht.
Mein Auge spricht, es spricht dereinst
Mein Kuß vielleicht.
