You were a bright star In the darkest sky You were the red tulip Among the garden's flowers Every society or circle Was proud to have you It was not a surprise Many were envious of you They told lies and gossips In every chance they had They finally could succeed In disgracing you anyway All those liars and gossips They were in my favour I could prove myself as The only honest lover All other lovers of you Judged by ears and eyes I, in contrast to them Used just my heart's eye Ears and eyes on the head Could sometimes be deceived But who can see and hear By heart, never gets lost
