Vom Auge zum Herzen
 (Sung text for setting by R. Franz)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch schöne Augen hab' ich in
Ein schönes Herz geschaut;
Das hat erhoben meinen Sinn
Und mein Gemüth erbaut.

Durch schöne Augen hab' ich in
Ein schönes Herz geschaut;
Das hat geleuchtet durch mich hin,
Und sanft mich überthaut.

Durch schöne Augen hab' ich in
Ein schönes Herz geschaut;
Davon ich still getröstet bin,
Wenn in der Nacht mir graut.
