Why will you question others

Clara Schumann

Why will you question others,

Who are not faithful to you?

Believe nothing but what

Both these eyes say!

Believe not strange people,

Believe not peculiar fancies;

Even my actions you shouldn't interpret,

But look in these eyes!

Will lips silence your questions,

Or turn them against me?

Whatever my lips may say,

See my eyes: I love you!
