by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Süße Frau, o spart die Worte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Süße Frau]1, o spart die Worte,
Sie verklingen nur im Ohr;
Denn Vernunft hat enge Pforte
Und das Herz ein weites Tor!

Um vor Euch mich zu beschützen,
Sprecht mich nicht so weise an,
Süße Frau! denn wenig nützen
Weise Lehren wundem Mann.

Eure schönen Augen strafen
Alles Lügen, was Ihr sprecht -
Minne hat so lang geschlafen - -
Minne wacht und will ihr Recht!
