Tief Blick in Blick
 (Sung text for setting by F. Lachner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Tief Blick in Blick, heiß Mund an Mund, 
Laß Herz am Herzen schlagen! 
Doch was die Liebe ist, mein Kind,
Das mußt du mich nicht fragen! 

Wer wahrhaft liebt, der hat nicht Zeit,
sich in das Wort zu binden;
wer einst geliebt, dem liegt es weit,
er wird es nicht mehr finden.

Was soll das Wort? -- Den sel'gen Blick,
Den stillen Druck der Hände,
Den heißen Kuß erschöpfst du nicht 
In Worte ohne Ende.

O liebe nur, o liebe nur, 
O seufze, schmachte, weine, 
O juble, o juble, in allem bleibt
die Lieb', die ewig eine.

Tief Blick in Blick, heiß Mund an Mund,
Laß Herz am Herzen schlagen! 
Doch was die Liebe ist, mein Kind,
Das mußt du mich nicht fragen!
