Lieb' um Liebe

Lieb' um Liebe, Stund' um Stunde,
Wort um Worte und Blick um Blick;
Kuß um Kuß vom treusten Munde,
Hauch um Hauch und Glück um Glück
So am Abend, so am Morgen!
Doch du fühlst an meinen Liedern
Immer noch geheime Sorgen;
Jussuphs Reize möcht ich borgen,
Deine Schönheit zu erwidern.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) , no title, 1815, from West-östlicher Diwan, in Suleika Nameh -- Buch Suleika
