by Oskar Horn (1841 - 1907)

Was lachst du mir, mein rosiges Kind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was lachst du mir, mein rosiges Kind?
Frisch sind und glüh deine Wangen.
Auf Rosenbetten weich und lind
kommt die Liebe gegangen, ja, gangen.

Schau mir so tief nicht ins arme Herz,
schlage die Augen nieder;
ach, über Nacht wird Ernst aus Scherz,
ich müsste dich lieben, ja, lieben!

Vorbei dein Lachen, dein froher Mut,
trübe die Augen, die reinen;
wenn ich dich liebte, junges Blut,
dann müsstest du weinen, ja weinen!
