by (Karl Anton Bernhard) Friedrich von Kurowski-Eichen (1780 - 1853)

Wüsstest du, wie tief ich leide
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wüsstest du, wie tief ich leide,
was mein Busen schmerzlich trägt,
was ich lieb' und leidend meide,
was zu Tränen mich bewegt,
sanft und linde
einem Kinde
würd'st du holden Trost mir weih'n,
ach, und minder fröhlich sein.

Wüsstest du, was mir entschwunden,
welcher Reichtum meiner Brust,
welche Schmerzen ich empfunden,
Gott und mir allein bewusst,
schonend leise,
liebend weise
würd'st du Gram durch Gram verweh'n,
nimmer lächelnd vor mir steh'n.
