by (Karl) Theodor Körner (1791 - 1813)

Ständchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schläfst du, oder wachst du,
Herzlieb, Herzlieb, Herzlieb?
Es schleicht zu deinem Fenster
Ein Dieb, ein Dieb, ein Dieb.

Er möchte Küsse stehlen,
O gib, o gib, o gib,
Es hat fühwahr dich Keiner,
So lieb, so lieb, so lieb.

Halt fest mit weichen Armen,
Herzlieb, Herzlieb, Herzlieb,
Halt gefangen und umfangen
Den Dieb, den Dieb, den Dieb!
