by Friedrich Adolf Ludwig von Oeynhausen (1795 - 1871)

Schön die Schöne zu begrüssen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schön die Schöne zu begrüssen,
Halten wir für heil'ge Pflicht;
O mein Lied, bring' ihr den süssen
Gruss der Lieb'; vergiss es nicht!

Sag ihr, wenn sie die Gedichtchen
Liest, dass sie nicht böse thut.
Nur ein freundliches Gesichtchen,
Liebes Kind, und es ist gut.
