by Karl von Lemcke (1831 - 1913)

Am Kreuzweg
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Am Kreuzweg bei dem grauen Stein,
Da geht kein Mensch vorbei die Nacht;
Da soll es nicht geheuer sein --
Es kichert, wispert, flüstert, lacht.

Es kichert, wispert, flüstert, lacht --
Die Kornfrau tanzet um den Stein
In warmer dunkler Sommernacht,
Man sieht die Spuren auf dem Rain.

Und wen sie trifft am grauen Stein,
Thut sie ein Leids mit Küssen an --
Gut Nacht, du wildes Mägdelein,
Am Kreuzweg harrt dein Jägersmann.

Confirmed with Lieder und Gedichte von Carl Lemcke, Hamburg, Hoffmann und Campe, 1861, page 77. Note: modern German would change the spelling "Thut" -> "Tut"
