Rath
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Fragt wohl der Lenz die Erde,
Ob sie ihn lieben will, 
Mit bittender Geberde, 
Demüthig, scheu und still? 

Es kommt der Held, der frohe, 
Reißt sie an seine Brust,
Aus der in mächtiger Lohe 
Flammt seiner Liebe Lust.

Drum, wenn du, lieber Junge
Ein Mädchen lieben magst, 
Umarme es im Sprunge 
Eh schüchtern du es fragst.

Die Liebste muß gewähren,
Was kühn du dir geraubt! 
O laß vom Lenz dich lehren:
Das Küssen ist erlaubt!
