Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English

Mir ist, als müßt' ich dir was sagen,
Als wollte dir mein Herz was klagen;
Mein tiefster Sinn beweget sich,
Mit jeder Regung lieb' ich dich.

Mir ist, als müßt' ich zu dir wallen,
Als Pilger dir zu Füßen fallen,
Von mancher Regung heilen mich,
Und ach nur sehn und lieben dich.

Mein Herz der Banden will enteilen,
Mein Auge möcht' an deinem weilen,
Und Herz und Aug' ergießen sich;
Mit vielen Thränen lieb' ich dich.
