by Paul Reinhold Friedrich Hermann Baehr (1855 - 1929)

Wie du noch jung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lieb Mütterchen, du fragst so streng,
wie alles nur gekommen;
sei nicht so ernst, ich bin so froh,
mach nicht mein Herz beklommen.

Er liebte mich ja lange schon
mit innigtreuem Sehnen,
d'rum, als er' mir gestanden heut',
da weint' ich Freudentränen

und ließ mich führen Arm in Arm
zur Laube unterm Flieder;
o sei nicht bös', er küsste mich,
und ich, ich küsst' ihn wieder.

Sag, Mütterchen, wie du noch jung,
ist's anders dir ergangen?
O sieh, du lächelst! Mütterchen,
nun hab' ich dich gefangen!
