by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Wer dir ins Auge hat geblickt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wer dir ins Auge hat geblickt,
Und fragt, warum ich muß sterben,
Der hat so tief nicht darein geblickt,
Als ich zu meinem Verderben. 

Er hat den Zauberer nicht gesehn,
Der liegt am Grunde begraben,
Und Alle machet vor Gram vergehn,
Die da gesehn ihn haben.
