by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Wie aber soll ich Dir erwiedern
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie aber soll ich Dir erwiedern, 
  Was Du mir bist? 
Ich weiß es, daß Dir nicht in Liedern
  Zu danken ist.

Die Lieder, die ich könnte singen,
   Sind nicht mehr mein: 
Das Herz, woraus sie hell erklingen,
  Es ist schon Dein!
