by Justinus (Andreas Christian) Kerner (1786 - 1862)

Stummsein der Liebe
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wohl neigt nach goldner Sonne
Sich stumm die Blum' der Au,
Doch spricht von ihrer Wonne
Im Kelch der helle Tau.

Halt' ich dich Lieb' umwunden,
Gedrückt ans Herze ganz,
Schweigt Lippe fest gebunden
Spricht nur des Auges Glanz.

Ein armes Herz  entschlagen
So plötzlich aller Pein,
O Liebe! kann nichts sagen,
Das kann nur stille sein.
