by Luise Elisabeth Bertha Koch (1875 - 1966), as Maidy Koch

Mit einem Märchen hab' ich als Kind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Mit einem Märchen hab' ich als Kind
Die Zeit mir sinnend vertrieben,
Und um ein Märchen weint' ich mich blind --
Das Märchen von meinem Lieben.
 
Ich sinne und sinne, wie's wohl begann,
Und lege das Haupt in die Hände . . .
Es war einmal -- so fing es an . . .
Es war -- so ging es zu Ende.
