by August Ernst, Freiherr von Steigentesch (1774 - 1826)

Dauer der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das Herz ist, was es liebt zu fliehen,
zu weich, zu schwach,
zu weich, zu schwach,
Ihr Ton, ihr Blick, ihr Lächeln ziehen
dem Herzen nach,
Dem Herzen nach.
Das Leben, das die Sorgen messen,
vergisst sie nie,
vergisst sie nie,
Der Vorsatz selbst: sie zu vergessen
Mahnt uns an sie,
Mahnt uns an sie.
