by Johann Samuel Patzke (1727 - 1787)

Mädchen sind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mädchen sind 
Wie der Wind, 
Schenken oft im Scherze, 
Heute mir, 
Morgen dir, 
Flatterhaft ihr Herze.  

Denke nicht, 
Diese spricht: 
Liebchen, dir zu dienen 
Schmeichelei, 
Heuchelei 
Lacht aus ihren Mienen. 

Wo sie gehn,  
Oder stehn, 
Wenn sie dich auch küssen, 
Werden sie 
Dort und hie 
Was zu tadeln wissen.  

Schön und rund 
Lockt ihr Mund 
Zwar mit süssem Schalle; 
Schlau verdeckt 
Aber steckt 
Doch im Herzen Galle.
