by Friedrich August Leo (1820 - 1898)

Bin ich munter ‑‑ wach' ich!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bin ich munter -- wach' ich! 
Bin ich glücklich -- lach' ich! 
Bin ich traurig -- klag' ich! 
Bin ich zornig -- schlag' ich! 
Und es muß Euch Allen,
Wie ich bin, gefallen.

Soll an Andre denken,
Soll mich selbst beschranken,
Mich wohl gar bezwingen, 
Andern Opfer bringen?! 
Ei! das könnt' Euch Allen
Wahrlich wohl gefallen!
