Die Augen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Möchtest du wohl gerne wissen,
Welch Verlangen leb' in mir,
Frage nicht bei dem und jenem, -
Meine Augen sagen 's dir.

Für des Herzens heiße Gluten
Gibt es ein Geständnis hier,
Was die Seele froh beweget, -
Meine Augen sagen 's dir.

Weg mit jenem dumpfen Schweigen,
Das das Herz erdrücket hier;
Denn für wen ich leb' und sterbe, -
Meine Augen sagen 's dir.

Worte hab' ich nicht zu geben,
Dazu ist kein Mut in mir,
Doch was nicht die Worte nennen, -
Meine Augen sagen 's dir.
