Erlaube mir, feins Mädchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Erlaube mir, feins Mädchen, In den Garten zu gehn, Daß ich dort mag schauen, Wie die Rosen so schön. Erlaube sie zu brechen, Es ist die höchste Zeit; Ihre Schönheit, ihr Jugend Hat mir mein Herz erfreut. O Mädchen, o Mädchen, Du einsames Kind, Wer hat den Gedanken Ins Herz dir gezinnt, Daß ich soll den Garten, Die Rosen nicht sehn? Du gefällst meinen Augen, Das muß ich gestehn.
