by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Ich hab ihn gesehen!
Language: German (Deutsch)

Das Mädchen:
 Ich hab ihn gesehen!
 Wie ist mir geschehen?
 O himmlischer Blick!
 Er kommt mir entgegen;
 Ich weiche verlegen,
 Ich schwanke zurück.
 Ich irre, ich träume!
 Ihr Felsen, ihr Bäume,
 Verbergt meine Freude,
 Verberget mein Glück!
