Du liebes Auge, willst dich tauchen

Du liebes Auge, willst dich tauchen,
In meines Aug's geheimster Tiefe,
Zu späh'n, wo in blauen Gründen
Verborgen eine Perle schliefe?

Du liebes Auge, tauche nieder,
Und in die klare Tiefe dringe
Und lächle, wenn ich dir dies Bild
Als schönste Perle wiederbringe.
