by Heinrich Alfred Bulthaupt (1849 - 1905)

In dein abgrundtiefes Auge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In dein abgrundtiefes Auge
Blickt' ich, als ich dich umschlungen  --
Auf dem Grunde flammt' es herrlich
Wie der Hort der Nibelungen.

Güldener als Carols Krone,
Heller glänzt' es als Demanten,
Daß die Augen überselig
Von dem Schauen mir entbrannten!

Deine Seele, o du Reine,
Deiner Schönheit tiefstes Leben  --
Dieser Glanz, wird er der meine,
Diesen Schatz, werd' ich ihn heben?
