by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

Dich über Wolken tragen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dich über Wolken tragen,
Du sanftes Kind, für dich
Mein Leben möcht' ich wagen,
Um dir es recht zu sagen:
Ich liebe dich!

Ich möcht' es jede Stunde
Von dir auch hören, sprich -
O sprich von Herzensgrunde
Mit deinem holden Munde:
Ich liebe dich!
