by Franz Ferdinand, Freiherr von Dingelstedt (1814 - 1881)

Verstecke dich nur heute nicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Verstecke dich nur heute nicht,  
Wenn ich des Weges geh',
Du liebes Frauen-Angesicht
Nur heut' verstecke dich mir nicht,
Daß ich noch eins dich seh'! 

Am Erkerfenster wohlbekannt
Ein Weilchen bleibe stehn,
Und grüße mit der weißen Hand,
Die blauen Äuglein abgewandt,
Und laß dein Tüchlein wehn! 

Denn noch ein letztes Grüßen dein
Empfing' ich gar zu gern; 
Das sollte in die Welt hinein
Mein bester Reise-Engel sein,
Gesandt von Gott dem Herrn!
