by (Christian) Friedrich Hebbel (1813 - 1863)

An ein junges Mädchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du hängst mit süßen Blicken
  An meinem Angesicht;
Du möchtest mich beglücken
  Doch Du vermagst es nicht.

Wie auch die Pulse klopfen,
  Die Seele zagt und weint;
Ich bin ein Wassertropfen,
  Durch den die Sonne scheint!

Confirmed with Friedrich Hebbel's sämmtliche Werke, Achter Band, Gedichte aus dem Nachlaß. -- Epigramme. Mutter und Kind., Hamburg, Hoffmann und Campe, 1867, page 438, in the section Anhang.
