Liebesorakel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ob ich den Blumen trauen soll?
So oft ich frag', ob sie mich liebt
das letzte Blättchen jedes Mal 
"sie liebt mich" mir zur Antwort gibt.
Ob ich den Blumen trauen soll?

Ob ich den Vöglein trauen soll?
Denn frag ich ob du lieb mich hast,
da singen sie und nicken sie
ein fröhlich "Ja" von ihrem Ast.
Ob ich den Vöglein trauen soll?

Ob ich zwei Augen trauen soll?
Bald steht ein "Ja", bald "Nein" darin,
bald sind sie hell, bald wehmutsvoll,
o sag mir, Herzbezwingerin,
was ich in ihnen lesen soll.
