by Johann Gaudenz Freiherr von Salis-Seewis (1762 - 1834)

Es gibt verborgene Schmerzen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es gibt [verborgene]1 Schmerzen,
Die klaget nie der Mund; 
Getragen [tief]2 im Herzen, 
Sind sie der Welt [nie]3 kund.

Es gibt ein tiefes Sehnen, 
Es scheuet stets das Licht;
Es gibt geheime Thränen 
Die sieht der Fremde nicht.

[Wollt ihr]4 das Wesen kennen, 
Das [diese]5 Sehnsucht [regt]6? 
Soll ich den Engel nennen, 
Der [diesen Namen]7 trägt? 

Es ist das [Kind]8 der Jugend, 
Von Unschuld noch [umhüllt]9,
Das in der Brust voll Tugend 
Die erste Liebe fühlt.
