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

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

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

Wollt ihr das Wesen kennen, 
Das diese Sehnsucht regt? 
Soll ich den Engel nennen, 
Der diesen Namen trägt? 

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