by (Leo) Ernst (Achilles) Müllenbach (1862 - 1901), as Ernst Lenbach

Dein herzig Briefchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dein herzig Briefchen, 
Ich hatt' es einmal kaum gelesen, 
Da war von Leid 
Mein Herz genesen.  

Nur wenig Worte.  
Wie mochten sie so schnell mich heilen? 
Das macht', ich las 
Auch zwischen den Zeilen!
