by Michael Georg Conrad (1846 - 1927)

Bekenntnis
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nichts Süßeres auf Erden  
Als treu in Liebe stehn, 
Trotz Not und viel Beschwerden 
Nicht voneinander gehn.  

Wie sich das Wetter wende, 
Die Treu hält allzeit Stand. 
Was auch das Schicksal sende, 
Die Lieb nimmts in die Hand. 

Ob Frühling, oder Winter, 
Ob Dämmerung, Morgenrot, 
Und wartet still dahinter 
Der ernste Schnitter Tod: 

Nichts Süßeres auf Erden 
Als treu in Liebe stehn, 
Und soll der Abschied werden: 
Ade  --  auf Wiedersehn!

Confirmed with Michael Georg Conrad, Salve Regina. Lyrischer Cyklus, Berlin und Leipzig: Schuster & Loeffler, 1899, page 25.
