by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Sie sprach: Erschrick nicht! sie ist...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie sprach: Erschrick nicht! sie ist dein,
Ist dein auf Tod und Leben.
Ich sprach: Und bist du, bist du mein?
Wie sollt' ich denn nicht leben?

Wie sollt' ich die Unendlichkeit
Der Lieb' am Busen tragen
Und von der neuen Seligkeit
Nicht überwältigt zagen!
