Liebeslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ohne Flamme brennt kein Licht,
Ohne Sonne grünt kein Baum,
Ohne Liebe lebt; ich nicht
Auf dem düstern Erdenraum.

Liebe ist das einz’ge Gut,
Das der Himmel mir verlieh.
Geht es schlimm mir oder gut --
Von der Liebe lass' ich nie!

Confirmed with the anthology Blütenkranz neuer Deutscher Dichtung, herausgegeben von Rudolf von Gottschall, Zwölfte verbesserte Auflage, Breslau, Verlag von Eduard Trewendt, 1897, page 157.
