Du bist mein Gut, mein Trost, meine...

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Du bist mein Gut, mein Trost, meine Stütze,
für dich mein Herz in Ketten liegt,
und deinetwegen leide ich.
Für dich erhoff’ ich Ruh’ und Frieden,
und all mein Denken kreist um dich:
Andre Schöne ersehn ich nicht,
andre Schöne ersehn ich nicht.
