by Carl Siebel (1836 - 1868)

Schau' ich ihm in's dunkle
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schau' ich ihm in's dunkle
Liebe Auge hinein, -
Füllen heiße Thränen
Oft die Wimper mein.

Thränen weint die Sehnsucht,
Thränen weint der Schmerz -
Doch in diesen Thränen
Liegt mein ganzes Herz.

Küßt er sie vom Auge,
Ist mir wohl und weh -
Denn mein ganzes Herze
Ich ihn nehmen seh'. -
