Wer hätte sie gesehn und nicht
auch sie geliebt?
Ich sah sie und ich hab',
ich weiss nicht wie, geliebt.
Ich hab' ihr oft gehorcht,
und selbst ihr härtstes Wort
hab' ich wie Nachtigallenmelodie geliebt.
Nur Eine hat mein Herz für diese Welt geraubt
und nichts begehrt' ich mehr,
wenn mich nur die geliebt.
Ja in der andern Welt wird Adil
sprechen noch:
hätt' ich nicht Dich geliebt,
Ich hätte nie geliebt.
