by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Ich will von dir, was keine Zeit zerstöret
 (Sung text for setting by F. Weingartner)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich will von dir, was keine Zeit zerstöret,
Nur Schönheit, die das Herz verleiht;
Ich will von dir, was nie der Welt gehöret,
Die engelreine Kindlichkeit.

Das sind des Herzens allerbeste Gaben,
Das ist des Lebens schönste Zier.
Hat dich die Welt, so kann ich dich nicht haben;
Lebst du der Welt, so stirbst du mir.

    Set to music by Felix Paul Weingartner (1863 - 1942), "Ich will von dir, was keine Zeit zerstöret" [ voice and piano ], confirmed with a CD booklet
