by Josef Pollhammer (1832 - 1903)

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

Der Stirne sanfte Wölbung, 
Das wallende goldene Haar,
die frischen Rosen der Lippen
Gelangen mir wunderbar.

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