Liebchens Reichthum
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Himmel hat die Sonne, und Perlen hat das Meer, die Erde hat die Blume, doch Liebchen, du hast mehr! Die Blumen und die Perlen, der Sonne gold'nen Strahl, die reichen Schätze alle besitzest du zumal. Dein Auge leuchtet sonnig, in Rosen blüht dein Mund und aller Perlen schönste ruht dir im Herzensgrund.

Love's riches
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The sun is in the heavens the pearl is in the sea, The earth is strewn with flowers, But I my love have thee! The pearls and all the flowers, the sunlight's golden beam, To lend thee all their beauty they one and all do seem. Thine eyes glance beams of sunlight, thy lips are rosy red of all the pearls the purest has in thy heart its bed.
