by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)
Auf die Nacht in den Spinnstuben
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf die Nacht in den Spinnstuben Da singen die Mädchen, Da lachen die Dorfbuben, Wie flink [gehn die]1 Rädchen! Spinnt jedes [am]2 Brautschatz, Daß der Liebste sich freut. Nicht lange, so gibt es [Ein Hochzeitsgeläut]3. Kein Mensch, der mir gut ist, Will nach mir fragen. Wie bang mir zu Muth ist, Wem [soll]4 ich's klagen? Die Thränen rinnen Mir übers Gesicht -- Wofür [ich soll]5 spinnen, Ich weiß es nicht!
