by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Ich will nicht eifersüchtig sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich will nicht eifersüchtig sein,
Weil das mir unbewußt geblieben,
Daß ich dich liebe so allein,
Wie dich kann keine And're lieben.

Ich bitte nur von Gott allein,
Der mir die Lieb' in's Herz geschrieben,
Daß dir die Schrift sei lesbar rein
In jedem Augenblick geblieben.

Wenn das Gefühl, wie ich bin dein,
Dir wird im Busen nie zerstieben, 
So wirst du (kann es anders sein?),
Wie ich dich liebe, mich auch lieben.
