Auf ewig dein
 (Sung text for setting by O. Nicolai)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Auf ewig dein! Auf ewig dein! und wenn uns Meere trennen,
Wenn Stürme dräun, 
Wenn Weste säuseln oder Wüsten brennen:
Auf ewig dein! Auf ewig dein!

Beim Kerzenglanz im hohen Marmorsaale,
Beim Silberschein
Des Abendmonds im stillen Hirtenthale:
Auf ewig dein! Auf ewig dein!

Senkt einst mein Genius die Fackel nieder,
Mich zu befrein, mich zu befrein,
Dann hallt es noch im gebrochnen Herzen wieder:
Auf ewig dein! Auf ewig dein!
