by Feodor Franz Ludwig Löwe (1816 - 1890)

Ein seltnes, rätselhaftes Buch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein seltnes, rätselhaftes Buch
Ist mir Dein Angesicht,
Auf jeder seiner Seiten steht
Ein blühendes Gedicht.

Doch wenn ich lesen will darin
Recht tief versenkt und stumm,
Schlägt mir der Schalk in Deinem Aug'
Die Blätter listig um.
