by Godefroy

Schau ich ein verstecktes Haus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schau ich ein verstecktes Haus,
Wo sich Rosen schmiegen 
Um die Giebel, und sich drob 
Bäume lustig wiegen:
Möcht' ich wieder bei dir sein,
Gretelein! 

Zeigt sich mir ein Mädchen lieb,
Dessen Antlitz Freude,
Die um lichtes Lenzgewand
Kränzet Blumgeschmeide:
Möcht ich, wieder bei dir sein,
Gretelein! 

Hör' ich lachen frisch und hell,
Jauchzen auf der Haiden,
Singen durch das stille Feld:
Knab', ich will's nicht leiden --
Möcht ich wieder bei dir sein,
Gretelein!
