by Baron von Maltitz

Der Kuß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Großmutter spricht:
Ein Manneskuß sticht,
Und beißt gleich der Schlange,
Drum wahr' deine Wange!

Recht hat sie hierin;
Denn als mich letzthin
Der Jäger that küssen,
Hat er mich gebissen!

Noch sind mir zur Stund,
Die Lippen ganz wund;
Doch sprech' ich von Herzen,
Mir macht es nicht Schmerzen!

Und biß er mich sehr,
Ich wehrt's ihm nicht mehr;
Zwar ist es nicht üblich,
Doch beißt er zu lieblich!
