by Frank Wedekind (1864 - 1918)

Wendla im Garten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Warum hast du dich in den Garten geschlichen?
Veilchen suchen.
Warum bringst du auch nicht mehr die Lippen zusammen?
Ich weiß es ja nicht, ich finde nicht Worte!
Der Weg ist wie ein Pelüscheteppich,
Kein Steinchen, kein Dorn.
O, wie ich die Nacht geschlummert habe . . . !
Süße Veilchen!
Ruhig, Mütterchen!
Ich will mein Bußgewand anziehn . . .
Ach Gott!
Wenn doch jemand käme,
Dem ich um den Hals fallen und erzählen könnte!
