by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Sage nicht, ich sei dein Leben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sage nicht, ich sei dein Leben;
Ich will deine Seele sein.
Denn das Leben ist im Schweben,
Unvergänglich ist allein
Deine Seele dir gegeben,
Und ich bin aus ewig dein.
Sage nicht, ich sei dein Leben,
Ich will deine Seele sein.
