by Heinrich Uhse , as Heinrich Silesius

In meiner Brust eine Glocke klingt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In meiner Brust eine Glocke klingt,
bald hell, bald leiser und trübe.
Die Glocke, sie ist mein eigenes Herz,
die Töne sind Klänge der Liebe.

Mein Lieb, mein schönes, mein rosiges Lieb,
du regst der Glocke Klingen:
o läute du sacht, o nimm dich in Acht,
sonst muss sie vor Wehe zerspringen.
