by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)

Jedem das Seine
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Aninka tanzte
Vor uns im Grase
Die raschen Weisen.
  Wie schön war sie!

Mit den gesenkten,
[Bescheidnen]1 Augen,
Das stille Mädchen --
  Mich macht' es toll!

Da sprang ein Knöpfchen
[Ihr von der]2 Jacke,
Ein goldnes Knöpfchen,
  Ich fing es auf --

Und dachte Wunder
Was mir's bedeute,
Doch hämisch lächelt'
  Jegór dazu,

Als wollt' er sagen:
Mein ist das Jäckchen,
Und was es decket,
Mein ist das Mädchen,
  Und dein -- der Knopf!
