by Franz (Seraphicus) Grillparzer (1791 - 1872)
Schwarz ihre Brauen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schwarz ihre Brauen, Weiß ihre Brust, Klein mein Vertrauen, Groß doch die Lust. Schwatzhaft mit Blicken, Schweigend die Zung', Alt das Mißglücken, Wunsch immer jung; Arm, was ich brachte, Reich meine Lieb; Warm, was ich dachte, Kalt, was ich schrieb.
Confirmed with Franz Grillparzer, Sämtliche Werke. Band 1, München, 1960–1965, pages 92-93.
