by Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim (1719 - 1803)

Ich, der mit flatterhaftem Sinn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Ich, der mit flatterhaftem Sinn
Bisher ein Feind der Liebe bin,
Und es so gern beständig bliebe,
Ich! Ach! Ich glaube, daß ich liebe.

Der ich sonst Hymen angeschwärzt,
Und mit der Liebe nur gescherzt,
Der ich im Wankelmuth mich übe,
Ich glaube, daß ich Doris liebe.

Denn ach! seitdem ich sie gesehn,
Ist mir kein andre Schöne schön,
Ach, die Tyrannin meiner Triebe;
Ich glaube gar, daß ich sie liebe.
