by Friedrich von Schlegel (1772 - 1829)
Das Mädchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie so innig, möcht' ich sagen, Sich der meine mir ergiebt, Um zu lindern meine Klagen, Daß er nicht so innig liebt. Will ich's sagen, so entschwebt es; Wären Töne mir verliehen, Flöss' es hin in Harmonieen, Denn in jenen Tönen lebt es. Nur die Nachtigall kann sagen, Wie er innig sich mir giebt, Um zu lindern meine Klagen, Daß er nicht so innig liebt.
