by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Ich wollte bei dir weilen

Ich wollte bei dir weilen
Und an deiner Seite ruh'n;
Du mußtest von mir eilen,
Du hattest viel zu tun.

Ich sagte, daß meine Seele
Dir gänzlich ergeben sei;
Du lachtest aus voller Kehle,
Und machtest 'nen Knicks dabei.

Du hast noch mehr gesteigert
Mir meinen Liebesverdruß,
Und hast mir sogar verweigert
Am Ende den Abschiedskuß.

Glaub' nicht, daß ich mich erschieße,
Wie schlimm auch die Sachen stehn!
Das alles, meine Süße,
Ist mir schon einmal geschehn.
