by Eduard Maria Oettinger (1808 - 1872)

Wenn auch nie mehr ich Dich sehe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn auch nie mehr ich Dich sehe,  
Lacht auch nie mehr mir Dein Blick, 
Denk' ich doch in stillem Wehe 
Stets an Dich, an Dich zurück. 

Ist auch nichts mehr mir geblieben, 
Von vergang'ner Tage Glück, 
Will ich dennoch treu Dich lieben 
Bis zum letzten Augenblick. 

Eine Welt voll heißer Thränen 
Hat mein Aug' um Dich geweint, 
Und so lange währt dies Sehnen, 
Bis der Tod uns einst vereint.
