by Joseph Viktor von Scheffel (1826 - 1886)

Niemals hat von seinem Sehnen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Niemals hat von seinem Sehnen 
Er ein Wörtlein mir gesprochen, 
Und doch schau' ich seine Blicke, 
Und doch hör' sein Herz ich pochen.

Aber wenn in stillen Nächten 
Seine Klänge zu mir schweben, 
Dann erschließt er mir ein ganzes 
Reiches, großes Liebesleben.
