by Erik Meyer-Helmund (1861 - 1932)

Gefangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Schmetterlinge, die fliegen
von einer Blume zur andern,
ich koste mit manchem Blümelein
als Schmetterling im Wandern!

Ich habe auf Lippen und Augen
manch' Röselein geküsst!
Ich bin dann weiter gewandert,
ich habe keine vermisst!

Nun sitz' ich endlich gefangen
in seligstem Liebesgekos',
von diesen Rosenlippen
küss' ich mich nimmer los!
