Nur die Liebe ist das Glück
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Als einst ich dich erblickte,
da war's um mich gescheh'n;
stets wie im wachen Traume
hab' ich nur dich geseh'n.
Wie schlug mein Herz so wild,
von Sehnsucht nur erfüllt
nach dir, du holde Maid,
du meine Seligkeit!
Da quoll im Herzen leise
wie ferner Sphärenklang
so zaubergleich die Weise,
der innig süße Sang:
Nur die Liebe ist das Glück,
Lieb' schlägt alles Leid zurück,
Lieb' mit Wonn' und Schmerzen
wohnt in meinem Herzen;
dir, o süße Lieb' allein,
will ich mich weih'n!
