by Josef Pollhammer (1832 - 1903)

Der Maler
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mir [träumt', ich stünd']1 als Maler 
Vor meiner Staffelei,
Und malte, süsses Liebchen, 
Dein schönes Konterfei.

Der Stirne sanfte Wölbung, 
Das [wallende goldene]2 Haar,
die frischen [Rosen der Lippen]3
[Gelangen mir wunderbar]4.

Die Augen nur verfehlt' ich --
Die [schauten]5 mich freundlich an,
Freundlich und Liebverheißend, 
Wie sie es nie gethan.
