by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Einem Kinde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Als du dein Herz, dein Herz voll [Freude], 
Gelehnt an meine Brust voll Weh, 
Da thauten Lenzgedanken wieder 
Mir auf, wie Blumen unter'm Schnee. 

Hell fiel dein Haar auf meine Schulter, 
Und lang hast du mich angesehn
Mit Augen tief und jugendinnig,
Als früg'st du mich, was mir geschehn?

O frage nicht! -- Wie du, so blickte 
Die Liebe einst, die mich verließ. 
Aus deinen sel'gen Kinderaugen 
Schaut mein verlornes Paradies.
