by Anton Prokesch-Osten (1795 - 1876)

Treue Liebe gilt für's Leben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Treue Liebe gilt für's Leben, 
Treue Liebe endet nicht;
Und dem Wechsel sich ergeben,
Treue Liebe ist es nicht.

Was durch Leiden kann vergehen,
Was der Freude Hand zerbricht,
Ähnlich mag's der Liebe gehen, 
Treue Liebe ist es nicht.

Was des Wort's bedarf hinieden 
Was nicht zittert, wenn es spricht, 
Bringen mag es tiefern Frieden 
Aber Liebe ist es nicht.

Liebe, Liebe birgt die Thränen, 
Liebe fleht Besitz und Licht,
Liebe schwelgt in Angst und Sehnen
Treue Liebe endet nicht.
