Language: German (Deutsch)

Wie wundersam ist dies Verlorengeh'n
In Liebestiefen ohne Ziel und Schranken:
Die ganze Welt mit lichten Augen seh'n,
Im Sonnenschimmer klarer Freude geh'n,
Eins sein in einem tiefen Glücksgedanken!

Und wie im Leben auch die Stürme weh'n,
Da ist kein Zagen und da ist kein Schwanken:
Fest steht die Liebe, wie die Sterne steh'n --
Wie wundersam ist dies Verlorengeh'n
In Liebestiefen ohne Ziel und Schranken!
