 Sollt ihr ein wahres Kunststück hören:
 Ich sing' ihr ein moralisch Lied,
 Um sie gewisser zu bethören.

Was machst du mir
Vor Liebchens Tür,
Kathrinchen, hier
Bei frühem Tagesblicke?
Lass, lass es sein!
Er lässt dich ein
Als Mädchen ein,
Als Mädchen nicht zurücke. 

Nehmt euch in Acht
Ist es vollbracht,
Dann gute Nacht,
Ihr armen, armen Dinger!
Habt ihr euch lieb,
Tut keinem Dieb
Nur nichts zu lieb,
Als mit dem Ring am Finger.

Text Authorship:

  • by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832), no title, appears in Faust, in Der Tragödie erster Teil (Part I), Mephistopheles, singing with a zither
