by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Mein Verstand und armes Herz
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Verstand und armes Herz
Wandeln auf verschied'nen Wegen:
Dieses treibt mich lieberwärts,
Jener mich der Lieb' entgegen!

Mein Verstand ist sehr verständig,
Nennt mein armes Herz bethört --
Doch dies Herz liebt so unbändig,
Daß es gar nicht auf ihn hört.
