Spröde Locken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Mein Mädchen hat zwei Locken kraus,
Zwei Locken, denen ich zürne;
Sie springen aus dem Hut heraus
Gar trotzig über der Stirne.
 
Sie wollen sich dem Kamme nicht
Und keinem Streicheln fügen.
[Obgleich]1 sich sonst die Haare schlicht
Und weich ans Köpfchen schmiegen.
 
So ist auch ihr Gemüthe weich
Und ohne spröden Willen;
Doch hat sie, den kleinen Locken gleich,
Verzweifelt krause Grillen.
