by Friedrich Hermann Frey (1839 - 1911), as Martin Greif

Ganz so wie du
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich kannt ein Kind von holder Art, 
Wie eine Frühlingsblume zart,
Ganz so wie du. 

Was nur der Seele Blick gewahrt,
Sie hatte mir's geoffenbart,
Ganz so wie du. 

Zu leuchten meiner Lebensfahrt,
Schien sie vom Glück mir aufgespart,
Ganz so wie du.

Confirmed with Buch der Lyrik von Martin Greif. Gedichte. -- Neue Lieder und Mären, Leipzig, C. F. Amelangs Verlag, 1909, page 289.
