by Gustav Kastropp (1844 - 1925)

Ich habe nur einen Gedanken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich habe nur einen Gedanken,
Der raubt mir den Frieden, die Ruh',
Den denk' ich bei Nacht und bei Tage,
Und dieser Gedanke bist du!

Meine Hoffnung, mein Glück, meine Wonne,
Mein Schmerz, meine Sehnsucht, mein Leid
Ruht all in dem einen Gedanken
An dich, du selige Maid.

Und legt man in's Grab mich hernieder,
Und schlaf ich in ewiger Ruh',
Dann flattert der eine Gedanke
Dem blauen Himmel zu.
