by Friedrich August Clemens Werthes (1748 - 1817)

An Chloen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Heiter, Chloe, wie dein Geist, 
Wie dein Auge helle, 
Sanft, wie deine Blicke, fleißt 
Diese Silberquelle. 

Siehe, wie die Wellen hier 
In einander fließen, 
Unsren Seelen gleich, wenn wir 
Uns einander küssen. 

Lachend wird der Sonne Licht 
In der Fluth gemahlet, 
Wie aus deinem Angesicht 
Deine Seele strahlet. 

Confirmed with Friedrich August Clemens Werthes, Hirtenlieder, Leipzig: Johann Gottfried Müller, pages 27 - 28.
