possibly by J. F. Kanowsky

Ich sah zwei süsse Augen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich sah zwei süsse Augen,
So hold und wunderschön,
Wie junge Rosenblüthen
Auf luftigen Alpenhöh'n!

Aus deinen Augen strahlte
Ein Märchen wundersam,
Dass mich bei seinem Anblick
Ein Träumen überkam.

Wohin ich nun auch schaue,
Mir strahlt das Augenpaar,
Ich kann es nicht vergessen,
Denk' seiner immerdar.

Es fliehet Ruh' und Frieden
Aus meiner Lebensbahn:
Ihr wundersüssen Augen,
Habt mir ein Leid's gethan!

Note: poet's name given in Hering score as "Kanowsky"
