Wenn du mich liebst
 (Sung text for setting by W. Hess)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn du mich liebst — dann mag die Erde sterben,
der Blumen bunte Blütenpracht verblühn,
dann mag der Sternenhimmel sich verfärben
und mag der Sonne goldne Glut verglühn!

Wenn du mich liebst — dann mag es alles enden!
Wenn nur ein Funke in die Asche fällt —
wenn du mich liebst — bau’ ich mit Götterhänden
dir aus dem Chaos eine ganze Welt!
