by Gottfried Keller (1819 - 1890)
Mir glänzen die Augen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mir glänzen die Augen Wie der Himmel so klar; Heran und vorüber, Du schlanker Husar! Heran und vorüber Und wieder zurück! Vielleicht kann's geschehen, Du findest dein Glück! Was weidet dein Rapp mir Den Reseda dort ab? Soll das nun der Dank sein Für die Lieb, so ich gab? Was richten deine Sporen Mein Spinngarn zu Grund? Was hängt mir am Hage Deine Jacke so bunt? Troll [nur dich]1 von hinnen Auf deinem groben Tier Und laß meine freudigen Sternaugen mir!
