Bei dir allein empfind' ich, daß ich lebe, Daß Jugendmut mich schwellt Daß eine heit're Welt Der Liebe mich durchbebe; Mich freut mein Sein Bei dir allein! Bei dir allein weht mir die Luft so labend, Dünkt mich die Flur so grün, So mild des Lenzes Blüh'n, So balsamreich der Abend, So kühl der Hain, Bei dir allein! Bei dir allein verliert der Schmerz sein Herbes, Gewinnt die Freud an Lust! Du sicherst meine Brust Des angestammten Erbes; Ich fühl' mich mein Bei dir allein!

Bij jou alleen voel ik mijzelf echt leven, Mijn jonge moed zwelt aan, Ik voel een oceaan Van liefde mij doorbeven; 'k Besta als geen Bij jou alleen! Bij jou alleen streelt mij de lucht zo lavend, Lijkt mij het veld zo groen, Zo mild de lentezoen, Zo balsemend de avond, Het bos sereen, Bij jou alleen! Bij jou alleen voel ik de pijn niet kerven, En krijgt de vreugde gloed! Jij waarborgt mijn gemoed Dat wat het eens mag erven; Ik voel mij één Bij jou alleen!
