by Franz Alfred Muth (1839 - 1890)

Was er mir spricht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Was er mir spricht,
Wie Edelstein
Voll Glanz und Licht
Bewahrt mein Schrein.

  Befehle du:
Ich folge gern
Dir immerzu
Als meinem Herrn!

  Ein süßes Pfand,
Daß er mich liebt,
Ist, was die Hand
Mir immer gibt.

  Du füllst allzeit
Mit Freud' die Brust
Und gibst du Leid,
Mir ist es Lust.
