Liebe um Liebe
 (Sung text for setting by F. Silcher)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  War das nicht ein Blick der Liebe,
Der aus ihrem Auge sprach?
Sah es nicht bethränt und trübe
Mir mit stiller Sehnsucht nach?
 
  Ja, bey Gott! Sie muß es wissen,
Daß ich so verwundet bin;
Muß, von Mitleid hingerissen,
Auch für mich im Stillen glühn! --
 
  O ihr Liebesengel, rühret
Euch das Flehn des Leidenden,
O so steigt herab, und führet
Mich zu meiner Heiligen!
 
  Daß ich ihr zu Füßen sinke,
Meine Leiden ihr gesteh,
Und durch Einen ihrer Winke
Mich zu euch erhoben seh!
