possibly by Karl Isidor Beck (1817 - 1879)

Märchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich weiß nicht, was mich träumen macht.
Ist's deines Haares süße Pracht?
Ist's, weil ich schau mit süßem Weh
In deines Auges klaren See?

Weil deines Mundes Röslein roth
Mit allzuviel des Duftes bot?
Weil deiner Stimme Zauberschall
Mich eingelullt, du Nachtigall,

Sei still, sei still!

In meinem Herzen brennt
Ein Märchen aus dem Orient.

Note: author given as "C. Beck"
