Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang', Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen; Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz, Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen! Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst Der Strom von unsern Tränen, Und wenn [dich mein Arm]1 gewaltig umschließt - Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!
Zwei Lieder , opus 7
