by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Augen, die ich längst vergessen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Augen, die ich längst vergessen,
Wollen wieder mich verstricken,
Wieder bin ich wie verzaubert
Von des Mädchens sanften Blicken.

Ihre Lippen küssen wieder
Mich in jene Zeit zurücke,
Wo ich schwamm des Tags in Torheit
Und des Nachts in vollem Glücke.

Wär nur nicht die tiefe Grube
In dem Kinn, geliebtes Liebchen:
Anno achtzehnhundertzwanzig
War dort nur ein leises Grübchen.
