by Johannes Martin Miller (1750 - 1814)

Der Blick der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
   Aus dem Siegwart
War das nicht [ein]1 Blick der Liebe,
Der aus ihrem Auge sprach?
Sah es nicht bethränt, und trübe
Mir [mit]2 stiller Sehnsucht nach?

Ja, bei Gott! Sie muß es wissen,
Daß ich so verwundet bin;
Muß, von Mitleid hingerissen,
Auch für mich im stillen glühn! -

O ihr Liebesengel, rühret
Euch das Flehn des Leidenden,
O so steigt herab und führet
Mich zu meiner Heiligen!

Daß ich ihr zu Füßen sinke,
Meine Leiden ihr gesteh',
Und durch einen ihrer Winke
Mich zu euch erhoben seh'!
