by Wolf Stein

Wie ich dich liebe, kann ich nicht sagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie ich dich liebe, kann ich nicht sagen;
es könnt' auch die Erde das Wort nicht tragen,
es risse die Welt wie Sturmesflammen
mit seinem gewaltigen [Klang]1 zusammen.

Hinunter tief in die Brust zusammen
press' ich die herzzermalmenden Flammen.
Nimmer wird es die Brust ertragen,
denn wie ich dich liebe, kann ich nicht sagen.
