by Maria Scholz, née Stonawski (1861 - 1944), as Marie Stona

Meine Lippen brennen so
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Meine Lippen brennen so
Von den Küssen, die sie nicht geküsst,
Von der Sehnsucht, die mein Herz zerreißt.
Nimmer werd ich meiner Liebe froh,
Meine Lippen brennen so.

Und die Augen sind so schwer
Von den Tränen, die kein Blick gesehn,
Die mir finster in der Seele stehn
Wie ein weites, totenstilles Meer ...
Meine Augen trinken dran sich schwer.
