by Robert Hamerling (1830 - 1889)

Mund und Auge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lächeln ist des Mundes Sache,
Amt der Augen ist's, zu weinen;
Aber Aug' und Lippe stehen
Sich zu nah, so will mir scheinen.

Oft, wenn ich meln Liebchen küßte,
Preßend ihre Lippe hold,
Ist uns eine bitt're Thräne
In den süßen Kuß gerollt.
