by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Durch schöne Augen hab' ich in
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch schöne Augen hab' ich in
Ein schönes Herz geschaut;
Das hat erhoben meinen Sinn
Und mein Gemüth erbaut.

Durch schöne Augen hab' ich in
Ein schönes Herz geschaut;
Das hat [durch mich geleuchtet]1 hin,
Und sanft mich überthaut.

Durch schöne Augen hab' ich in
Ein schönes Herz geschaut;
Davon ich still getröstet bin,
[Wo]2 in der Nacht mir graut.
