Du milchjunger Knabe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du milchjunger Knabe, Wie siehst du mich an? Was haben deine Augen Für eine Frage getan! Alle Ratsherrn in der Stadt Und alle Weisen der Welt Bleiben stumm auf die Frage, Die deine Augen gestellt! Ein leeres Schneckhäusel, Schau, liegt dort im Gras: Da halte dein Ohr dran, Drin brümmelt dir was!
