by Käthe Kollwitz, née Schmidt (1867 - 1945)

An deiner Liebe hat es mir nie gefehlt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
An deiner Liebe hat es mir nie gefehlt 
[...] Ich danke Dir, Du lieber Karl! So selten habe
ich Dir in Worten gesagt, was Du mir warst und
bist. Heut möcht ich es noch einmal tun. Ich
danke Dir für alles, was Du aus Liebe und Güte
mir gabst. Langsam ist unser Ehebaum gewachsen, 
nicht so gerade und ohne Hindernisse wie
viele andere. Aber er ist nicht eingegangen.

About the headline (FAQ)

Note: Gawlick's song includes an unsung quote at the top from Morgenstern's "Wir fanden einen Pfad (III)":

Ich weiß, daß Liebe, Liebe ihr tiefster Sinn,
Und daß ich da, um immer mehr zu lieben, bin.
