by (Karl) Theodor Körner (1791 - 1813)

Das liebende Mädchen
 (Sung text for setting by P. Lindpaintner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Worte such' ich mir vergebens
  In des Herzens heißem Drang;
Jede Seligkeit des Lebens
  Hat nicht Worte, nur Gesang.

Nur in Tönen kann ich's zeigen,
  Nur dem Liede sey's vertraut;
Was die Lippen dir verschweigen.
  Meine Thräne sagt es laut.

Und von zauberischem Wehen
  Fühl' ich meine Brust bewegt.
Der allein kann mich verstehen,
  Der mein Glück im Herzen trägt!
