by Franz Stelzhamer (1802 - 1874)

Meine Augen waren so klar
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Meine Augen waren so klar
Wie der Morgenstern,
Und gesehen hab' ich so scharf --
Durch die Schale den Kern.
Ach, jetzt seh' ich nimmer so scharf --
Durch die Schale den Kern,
Nimmer sind die Augen so klar
Wie der Abendstern:
Trübgeweint sind Stern' und Säume,
Seit ich von der Stolzen träume.
