by Moritz Gottlieb Saphir (1795 - 1858), as Carl Friedrich Saphir

Liebesglück hat tausend Zungen 
 (Sung text for setting by J. van der Walt)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Liebesglück hat tausend, hunderttausend, millionen Zungen,
Liebesglück spricht immer fort;
Blatt um Blatt, zum Kranz geschlungen,
Und zum Liede Wort um Wort,
Nicht beglückter Lieb' ist's eigen,
Schweigend lieben, liebend schweigen.

 ... 

Schweigend lieben, liebend schweigen!
Stiller Mund bei stillem Schmerz!
Fremd der Lust, dem Weh zu eigen,
Todter Liebe lebt das Herz
Will, bis es der Ted soll beugen,
Schweigend lieben, liebend schweigen.
