Lieder , opus 2

by K. O. Leist

2. Emma, Emma, sag mir die Wahrheit  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Emma, sage mir die Wahrheit:
Ward ich närrisch durch die Liebe?
Oder ist die Liebe selber
Nur die Folge meiner Narrheit?

Ach! mich quälet, teure Emma,
Außer meiner tollen Liebe,
Außer meiner Liebestollheit,
Obendrein noch dies Dilemma.
