by (Karl) Wolfgang Müller von Königswinter (1816 - 1873)

O danke nicht für diese Lieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
O danke nicht für diese Lieder,
Mir ziemt es dankbar dir zu sein;
Du gabst sie mir, ich gebe wieder,
Was jetzt und einst und ewig dein.

Dein sind sie alle ja gewesen;
Aus deiner lieben Augen Licht
Hab ich sie treulich abgelesen:
Kennst du die eignen Lieder nicht?
