by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Weh mir! daß ich zu fragen wagte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weh mir! daß ich zu fragen wagte: 
  Sag, liebst du mich? 
Weh mir! daß ich es wagt' und sagte: 
  Ich liebe dich. 

Wenn's Sünde war, es auszusprechen, 
  Will büßen ich 
Durch stille Liebe mein Verbrechen: 
  Ich liebe dich. 

Wohl mir! noch denk' ich immer wieder 
  Und nur an dich; 
Wohl mir! noch singen meine Lieder: 
  Ich liebe dich.
