by Richard von Kralik (1852 - 1934)

Meine Liebe, meine Schöne!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Meine Liebe, meine Schöne,
du mein feines, herzig Kind!
Oder sag' mir, welche Töne
dir zu hören lieber sind!

Meine Reine, meine Gute,
meine Freude inniglich,
Herzgeliebte, Hochgemute -
oder sag', wie nenn' ich dich?

Meine Freundin, meine Süße,
lieber Schatz, mein Wunsch und Hort,
leichter sind mir hundert Küsse
als das eine würdige Wort.

Welchen Namen, dich zu nennen,
nehm' ich, lieb genug und traut,
d'ran du wärst recht zu erkennen,
meine Maia, meine Braut?

Confirmed with Richard von Kralik, Maia, unpublished codex manuscript, Vienna City Library.
