by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Das schönste Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Wohl ist es süß, zu preisen
In auserles'nen Weisen
Die Liebste hold und rein;
  Viel süßer doch, sich küssen,
Sich durch die Augen grüßen
In's tiefe Herz hinein!

  O stilles, sel'ges Zagen,
Kein Lied vermag's zu sagen,
Was durch das Herz dir zieht!
  O Himmel [aller Orten]1,
Dein Lieb ist selber worden
Zum allerschönsten Lied!
