Stille Liebe
 (Sung text for setting by P. Lindpaintner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Treu geliebt und still geschwiegen,     
Treue Liebe spricht nicht viel;  
Nur in unhörbaren Zügen 
Wallt das heiligste Gefühl.  

Oft sagt eine stille Thräne 
Mehr als Sprach' und Melodie: 
O!  der Liebe leise Töne 
Sind nur Herzensharmonie. 

 ... 

Heißgeliebte! Dank und Segen! 
Meine Seele stammelt's Dir!
Und mein Herz schlägt Dir entgegen, 
Ewig treu, Geliebte! Dir.  

Drum vergib', dass ich geschwiegen! 
Treue Liebe spricht nicht viel  --  
Nur in unhörbaren Zügen 
Wallt das heiligste Gefühl.
