by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

Wie Lieb' und Freude rein und klar
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie Lieb' und Freude rein und klar
Aus deinen blauen Augen spricht,
Da leuchten sie so wunderbar
Wie Nacht bei Sternenlicht.

Wer je des Himmels Lichtazur
Am Tage dunkel sah,
Der sah's von höchsten Höhen nur
Ihm selbst, dem Himmel, nah.
