by (Friedrich) Emil Rittershaus (1834 - 1897)

Es kann mein Lied Dir nimmer sagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es kann mein Lied Dir nimmer sagen,
Was ich gefühlt, was ich empfand,
Als nach der Trennung langen Tagen
Auf's Neue Dich mein Arm umspannt.

An Deinem Busen sank ich nieder.
Wie war ich so entzückt, beglückt,
Als ich auf Deine Lippen wieder
Beseligt meinen Mund gedrückt!

O, eine Wonne, nicht zu nennen,
Ist da im Herzen aufgewacht,
Und da erst lernt' ich's recht erkennen,
Wie Deine Lieb' mich glücklich macht.
