Glaubensbekenntnis
 (Sung text for setting by H. Daffner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich liebe die Begierde,
die deine Erfüllung kennt.
Ich liebe die rote Flamme,
die meine Seele verbrennt.

Die zitternden, zitternden Töne
auf des Lebens Saitenspiel.
Ich liebe die große Sehnsucht,
die Sehnsucht ohne Ziel.

Ich liebe die tiefen Schmerzen
und die Qual, die mich geküsst.
Ich liebe die Entsagung,
weil sie Wollust ist!

Composition:

    Set to music by Hugo Daffner (1882 - 1936), "Glaubensbekenntnis", op. 43 (6 Lieder zu Gedichten von Marie Madeleine) no. 6 [ voice and piano ]
