by Richard Pohl (1826 - 1896)

Mein Alles
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und wär' auch der ganze 
Erdkreis mein eigen; 
Und könnte mein Ruhm 
Zu den Sternen steigen; 

Und wär' ich geliebt 
Von allen Wesen; 
Und könnte mein Geist 
In der Zukunft lesen; 

Was hätt' ich, wenn du, 
Nur du nicht mein Eigen? 
Dein Herz nicht könnte 
Zu mir sich neigen? 

In deiner Liebe, 
So herrlich, so rein, 
Ist nicht nur die Erde, 
Der Himmel ist mein! 

Confirmed with Gedichte von Richard Pohl, Weimar: Landes-Industrie-Comptoir, 1859, pages 27 - 28. Appears in Helle Tage.
