by Karl Eduard von Holtei (1798 - 1880)

In meine Augen leuchten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In meine Augen leuchten
Sie nicht, der Sonne Strahlen,
In meine Augen zucken
Sie nicht, des Himmels Blitze.
Ich höre das Wetter und sehe es nicht.

Die Blüthen duften lieblich,
Wie mögen sie so bunt sein?
Die Vögel flattern alle
Und singen ihre Lieder.
Ich höre den Frühling und sehe ihn nicht.

In meine Hände legen
Die Frommen milde Gaben,
Des Bartes Haare raufen
Die armen Fischerkinder:
Ich höre die Menschen -- ich sehe sie nicht.
