by Heinrich Seidel (1842 - 1906)

Die armen Veilchen klagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die armen Veilchen klagen 
Und sehnen sich nacht Licht. 
In diesen grauen Tagen 
Schaut sich die Sonne nicht.  

Ihr kleinen Frühlingsblüthen, 
Seid froh und unverzagt!  
Ich will es euch vergüten, 
Was euch der Lenz versagt.  

Von allen, die da lachten,  
Von allen Augen braun, 
Da sollen euch betrachten  
Die schönsten, die zu schaun.  

Ihr werdet nimmer klagen,  
Bei dieser Augen Licht,   
Ihr werdet nimmer sagen: 
Wir sahn die Sonne nicht.
