by Karl Gottlieb Lappe (1773 - 1843)

Verheimlichung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Freudiges freundlich im Herzen gehegt,
Nicht von verrathenden Lippen geregt,
Selig geborgen in schweigender Brust,
Bleibt mir die köstlichste Blüthe der Lust.

Hüte dein Liebes in heiligem Sinn. 
Sprichst du die Freude, so sprichst du sie hin.
Zart ist das Schöne und rauh ist die Welt. 
Aus ist, was rasch von der Lippe dir fällt.

Dichter, du Armer! Ein trauriger Drang 
Reißt dir dein Liebes in Lied und Gesang. 
Was dir den Busen tief innig geschwellt,
Starret am frostigen Lächeln der Welt.
