Wie mit innigstem Behagen

Wie mit innigstem Behagen,
Lied, empfind' ich deinen Sinn,
Liebevoll du scheinst zu sagen,
Daß ich ihm zur Seite bin;
Daß er ewig mein gedenket,
Seiner Liebe Seligkeit,
Immerdar der Fernen schenket,
Die ein Leben ihm geweiht.
Ja, mein Herz es ist der Spiegel,
Freund, worin du dich erblickst,
Diese Brust, wo deine Siegel
Kuß auf Kuss hereingedrückt.
Süßes Dichten, lauter Wahrheit,
Fesselt mich in Sympathie,
Rein verkörpert Liebesklarheit
Im Gewand der Poesie!
Note: the third strophe is by Goethe; the rest is by Willemer
