Liebst du um Schönheit
If it's beauty you fall for
Rückert
If it‘s beauty you fall for, don’t fall in love with me,
Fall for the sun whose golden hair glows sheer.
If it’s youth you fall for, don’t fall in love with me,
Fall for the Spring that’s young again each year.
If it’s riches you fall for, don’t fall in love with me,
Fall for the mermaid whose pearls all shimmer clear.
If it’s love you fall for, yes, fall in love with me,
Love me for ever; I'll love you always dear.
