by Julius Wolff (1834 - 1910)

Jahrlang möcht' ich so Dich halten
 (Sung text for setting by E. Sjögren)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Jahrlang möcht' ich so Dich halten,
So von Dir umschlungen sein,
Deiner Minne heimlich Walten
Strömet mächtig auf mich ein. 

Über uns die Wipfel rauschen, 
Vöglein hüpft von Ast zu Ast,
Und die wilden Rosen lauschen,
Was Du mir zu sagen hast.

Ach! sie hören wenig Worte,
Wenn wir uns in Armen ruhn,
An dem waldverschwiegnen Orte 
Giebt es Holderes zu thun.

Räthsel blühn auf Deinem Munde,
Und glückselig, wer sie löst! 
Hast in einer einz'gen Stunde
Hunderte mir eingeflößt.
