by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Sie weiß es nicht, wie ich mich wiege
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sie weiß es nicht, wie ich mich wiege 
  In Träumen von ihr, 
Und auf der Sehnsucht Schwingen fliege 
  Wachend zu ihr, 
Und wie ich immer [flüstr']1 und kose
  Und rede mit ihr, 
Und stehen bleibe vor jeder Rose
  Als stünd' ich vor ihr; 
Wie all mein Sehnen, mein Verlangen 
  Strebet nach ihr, 
Und Alles mir ist aufgegangen 
  Einzig in ihr.
