by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)

Mein Auge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Du bist mein Auge! -- Du durchdringst mich ganz,
mein ganzes Wesen hast du mir erhellt,
mein ganzes Leben du erfüllt mit Glanz,
mich Strauchelnden auf sichern Pfad gestellt!

Mein Auge du! -- Wie war ich doch so blind
an Herz und Sinn, eh' Du dich mir gesellt,
und wie durchströmt mich jetzt so licht, so lind
verklärt der Abglanz dieser ganzen Welt!
