Treue
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Dein Gedenken lebt in Liedern fort;
Lieder, die der tiefsten Brust entwallen,
Sagen mir: Du lebst in ihnen allen,
Und gewiß die Lieder halten Wort.

Dein Gedenken blüht in Thränen fort;
Thränen, aus des Herzens Heiligthume
Nähren thauend der Erinnrung Blume,
[Und gewiß die Thränen halten Wort]1.

Dein Gedenken lebt in Träumen fort;
Träume, die [Dein Bild verklärt]2 mir zeigen,
[Sagen, daß Du ewig bist mein eigen]3,
Und gewiß, die Träume halten Wort.
