by Heinrich Wenzel

Deine Augen sind zwei Sonnen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Deine Augen sind zwei Sonnen,
Strahlend in dem eignen Blau:
Deine Wangen sind zwei Rosen
Auf der morgenrothen Au. 

Deine Brust ist eine Lilie 
In dem weißen Mondenlicht,
Und dein Herz ist eine Blüthe,
Die die schönste Frucht verspricht.

Und du selbst bist Sonn' und Rose,
Blüth und Lilie dazu:
Aber Sonn' und Ros' und Lilie, 
Immer sind sie noch nicht du!
