by Marie Laura Förster (1817 - 1856), as Maria Jäger

Daß ich an dich denke immerdar
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Daß ich an dich denke immerdar,
Daß du bei mir weilest Tag und Nacht -
Noch ist's meinem Herzen selbst nicht klar,
Ob es schwer, ob leicht mein Leben macht!

Denk' ich dein in kummervoller Zeit,
Wird sie hell und jeder Gram entweicht
Vor den Wonnen der Vergangenheit,
Denk' ich dein, wird mir das Leben leicht.

Denk' ich dein, wenn es mir Rosen streut,
Ohne dich sind's, ach, nicht Rosen mehr,
Und zur Qual wird, was mich sonst gefreut -
Ohne dich - wird mir das Leben schwer!
