by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Zum Hausfrieden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Viele Weiber, viele Flöhe,
Viele Flöhe, vieles Jucken -
Tun sie heimlich dir ein Wehe,
Darfst du dennoch dich nicht mucken.

Denn sie rächen, schelmisch lächelnd,
Sich zur Nachtzeit - Willst du drücken
Sie ans Herze, lieberöchelnd,
Ach, da drehn sie dir den Rücken.
