by (Friedrich) Emil Rittershaus (1834 - 1897)

O', schau' mich an ein einzig' Mal
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O', schau' mich an ein [einzig']1 Mal,
Du holdes Auge, lieb und fromm,
Daß in die Brust, voll wilder Qual,
Noch einmal Ruh' und Frieden komm'!

Du bist die hohe Sonne nicht,
Die Blumen weckt zum Maienfest,
Doch Du bist mildes Mondenlicht,
Das allen Kummer schlafen läßt.

Die Nacht ist da, mein Tag versank --
O, einmal noch des Friedens Strahl
Für diese Brust, so kummerkrank! --
O', schau' mich an ein einzig' Mal!
