by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Dich sehn und Dich nicht küssen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dich sehn und Dich nicht küssen 
Ist ein gefährlich Ding,
Ich stürbe Dir zu Füßen
Eh' ich von dannen ging'!

Steh, Mädchen, ich bin ehrlich
Wie wenig Männer sind,
Und weil's sonst so gefährlich:
So küsse mich, mein Kind!

H. Henkel sets stanza 1
