Ich seh' in deine Augen
 (Sung text for setting by L. Schmutzler)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich seh' in deine Augen
so fest, so tief hinein;
ich möchte gerne schauen
bis in die Seele dein.

Auf deinen sanften Zügen
verweilt mein trunk'ner Blick;
er sinkt entsagend nieder
und kehrt doch stets zurück.

O sagt, ihr lieben Augen,
so schön, so seelenvoll,
o sagt mir, ob ich hoffen,
ob ich verzweifeln soll!

Composition:

    Set to music by Ludwig Schmutzler (1843 - 1922), "Ich seh' in deine Augen" [ voice and piano ], from Sechs Lieder mit Pianofortebegleitung, no. 2
