by Eduard Maria Oettinger (1808 - 1872)

Blau‑Äugelein, Blau‑Äugelein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
Sprich, warum weinest Du?
Was trübte Deinen Sonnenschein,
Was störte Deine Ruh'?

Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
Bezähme Deinen Schmerz,
Denn stellst Du nicht das Weinen ein,
So bricht auch mir das Herz.

Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
Erzähl' mir Deinen Gram:
Wer mag der freche Räuber sein
Der Dir den Frieden nahm?

Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
So thränenvoll Dein Blick,
Weinst du vielleicht, Hold-Liebchen mein,
Um abgeblühtes Glück?

Blau-Äugelein, Blau-Äugelein,
Errieth' ich Deinen Schmerz,
Dann gönne, das ich mit Dir wein',
Gebrochen ist mein Herz.

Confirmed with Narrenalmanach für 1845 von Eduard Maria Oettinger, Dritter Band, Leipzig, Druck und Verlag von Philipp Reclam jun., 1845, pages 149-150.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the word "Äugelein" becomes "Aeugelein", but as can be seen in how "über" becomes "Ueber" when capitalized, this is due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, so we use "Äugelein".
