by Ricarda Octavia Huch (1864 - 1947)

Geheimnis
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Augen meiner Liebe, schöner See, 
Schaut mich an, damit ich euch ergründe, 
Daß mein Herz hinab als Taucher geh', 
Suche, wo sich euer Glanz entzünde.  

Schimmerst, Seele, du gleich einer bunten 
Muschel?  Glühst du als versenkter Hort? 
Bist du eine Perle, die dort unten 
Aufwärts singt ihr farbig Strahlenwort?  

Confirmed with Ricarda Octavia Huch, Gedichte, zweite vermehrte Auflage, Leipzig: H. Haessel Verlag, 1908, page 193.
