Ein Liebeslied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English 
Sprich, liebst du mich? Ich wüsst' es gern,
du hast mir's nie bekannt!
O lass' mich dir im Aug' es seh'n,
bleibt auch dein Mund gebannt.
Es künde mir dein holder Blick
Gewährung nur allein;
du bist mein Lieb, mein höchstes Glück,
mein Alles; sag' nicht nein!

Lass' reden doch dies Augenpaar,
aus Nacht mach' lichten Tag;
ich liebe dich so treu und wahr,
wie's nie ein And'rer mag.
O senke nicht den lieben Blick
wie Frühlingssonnenschein,
du bist mein Lieb, mein höchstes Glück,
mein Alles; sag' nicht nein!
