Gesellschaft m.b.H., Berlin, 1914<br />
4. Lieber Gott, du weißt, wie oft bereut ich hab,<br />
Daß ich meinem Liebsten einst<br />
ein Küßchen gab.<br />
Herz gebot, daß ich ihn küssen muß,<br />
Denk so lang ich leb an diesen ersten Kuß.<br />
Lieber Gott, du weißt, wie oft in stiller Nacht<br />
Ich in Lust und Leid an meinen Sch<strong>at</strong>z<br />
gedacht.<br />
Lieb ist süß, wenn bitter auch die Reu,<br />
Armes Herze bleibt ihm ewig, ewig treu.<br />
Dear God, You know how often I’ve been sorry<br />
Th<strong>at</strong> I once gave my beloved a little kiss.<br />
My heart told me th<strong>at</strong> I had to kiss him;<br />
As long as I live, I’ll think about th<strong>at</strong> first kiss.<br />
Dear God, You know how often in the silent night<br />
I’ve thought of my beloved in joy and sorrow.<br />
Love is sweet, even if regret is bitter;<br />
My poor heart will forever be true to him.<br />
