Wir sassen allein im Kämmerlein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Wir saßen allein im Kämmerlein,
ihr Auge hing an dem meinen,
es schwamm im Tau,
ihr Auge blau,
als wollt' es leise weinen.

Ich sagte nichts, ich fragte nichts,
der Seele heiliges Entzücken
nahm uns das Wort
von den Lippen fort
und gab's den schweigenden Blicken!
