by Friedrich Ernst

Der Liebe Macht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kaum deine Hände darf ich fassen,
mein bist du nicht, und dennoch mein;
die Welt gebietet, dich zu lassen,
die Träume aber sagen: Nein!

Ich fleh' um keinen deiner Blicke,
um keine ird'sche Seligkeit;
ich ford're nichts von deinem Glücke,
doch tragen möcht' ich all' dein Leid!

Ich ford're nichts von deinem Leben,
ich habe keinen Teil an dir,
doch immer wirst du mich umschweben,
auf allen Wegen folgst du mir.
