by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Liebster! wenn an deinen Küssen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Liebster! wenn an deinen Küssen 
Ich nun eben stürbe, 
Sag' ob unter Thränengüssen 
Ich ein Grab erwürbe? --

Hast du solchen Tod erworben,
Sollt' ich wohl erschrecken? 
Die an Küssen ist gestorben,
Wird ein Kuß erwecken.
