by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Du bissest die zarten Lippen wund
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du bissest die zarten Lippen wund,
Das Blut ist danach geflossen;
Du hast es gewollt, ich weiß es wohl,
Weil einst mein Mund sie verschlossen.

Entfärben ließt du dein blondes Haar
In Sonnenbrand und Regen;
Du hast es gewollt, weil meine Hand
Liebkosend darauf gelegen.

Du stehst am Herd in Flammen und Rauch,
Daß die feinen Hände dir sprangen;
Du hast es gewollt, ich weiß es wohl,
Weil mein Auge daran gehangen.
