by Hermann Rollett (1819 - 1904)

Ich bin das Meer der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich bin das Meer der Liebe,
  Du bist die Perle darin.
Und die Perle ist des Meeres
  Verschwiegene Königin.

Ich bin der tiefe Himmel --
  Du bist der Sternenschein,
Der in das Meer der Liebe
  Hellschimmernd fällt hinein.

Ich bin die Abendglocke --
  Du bist der süße Klang,
Der durch die Lüfte zittert
  Mit friedlichem Gesang.

Ich bin dein stiller Sänger,
  Deß' Herz in Liebe schlägt,
Du aber bist der Gedanke,
  Der mich zum Himmel trägt.
