by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Was in der Schenke waren heute
Language: German (Deutsch)
Was in der Schenke waren heute Am frühsten Morgen für Tumulte! Der Wirt und Mädchen! Fackeln, Leute! Was gab's für Händel,für Insulte! Die Flöte klang, die Trommel scholl! Das war ein wüstes Wesen; Doch bin ich, Lust und Liebevoll, Auch selbst dabei gewesen. Daß ich von Sitte nichts gelernt, Darüber tadelt mich ein jeder; Doch bleib ich weislich weit entfernt Vom Streit der Schulen und Katheder.
