Ah, the eyes of the lad
Max Bruch
Ah, the eyes of the lad
Have appeared to me so beautifully and clearly,
And something beams forth from them
That captivates my entire heart.
If with those sweet eyes of his
He would only look toward mine!
If he then saw his own image therein,
He well might greet me lovingly.
And thus I give myself to him utterly,
Only to wait upon his eyes,
For something beams forth from them
That captivates my entire heart.
