by Johann Hinrich Otto Meyer (1829 - 1904)

Schließ' auf dein Aug', das helle
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schließ' auf dein Aug', das helle, 
Hauch' mir Begeist'rung ein!
Aus dieser süßen Quelle 
Schöpf' ich die Lieder mein. 

Schließ' auf dein Aug', das lichte,
Und leuchte mir ins Herz
Und zaub're zum Gedichte
Mir meinen ganzen Schmerz! 

Dann will ich wieder leben,
Will Lust an allem seh'n,
Vergessen und vergeben,
Was Bitt'res auch gescheh'n; 

Will ganz, mich ganz versenken
In deinen Blick hinein,
Süß träumen, selig denken,
Und still und glücklich sein!
