by Johanna Voigt (1854 - 1939), as Johanna Ambrosius

Du dunkelgrund'ges Märchenauge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du dunkelgrund'ges Märchenauge,
Sag' mir, wovon du träumst,
Daß du die lange Seidenwimper
Mit Demantperlen säumst?

Denkst wohl an jene zarte Blüte,
Die sich für dich erschloß,
Und ihre keusche reine Seele
In deine Tiefe goß.

Liebst du die schlanke weiße Lilie,
Die deinem Grund vertraut,
Und die zum kräftigen Entfalten
Dein kostbar Naß betaut?
