by (Gottfried Bernhard) Adelbert (or Adalbert) Natorp (1826 - 1891)

In meinen Armen wieg' ich dich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In meinen Armen wieg' ich dich,
An meinem Herzen inniglich,
[In]1 deinen Locken spiele ich,
In [deinen Augen]2 seh' ich mich.

Und wenn die Leute fragen mich:
Was sitzest du so still für dich?
In meinen Armen wieg' ich dich,
An meinem Herzen inniglich.

Und fragen sie: was weinest du?,
Ich lächelnd ihnen Antwort thu':
[In]1 deinen Locken spiele ich,
In [deinen Augen]2 seh' ich mich.
