by Georg von Dyherrn (1847 - 1878)

Sehnsucht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Deine scheuen schönen Augen 
Die schau'n mich an so groß, 
Wie wilde blaue Blumen 
Im grünen Waldesmoos. 

Deine scheuen schönen Augen 
Deiner Stimme holden Schall  --  
Wo ich auch bin, ich sehe 
Und höre sie überall. 

Da faßt mich heißes Sehnen, 
Daß ich so einsam hier 
Und meine ganze Seele 
Fiebert nach dir  --  nach dir!  

Confirmed with Georg von Dyherrn, Miniatüren: Lieder zum Komponiren, Breslau: A. Gosohorsky's Buchhandlung, 1873, page 8.
