by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

O fände für mich
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O fände für mich
Ein Bräutigam sich!
Wie schön ist's nicht da!
Man nennt uns Mama;
Da braucht man zum Nähen,
Zur Schul' nicht zu gehen;
Da kann man befehlen,
Hat Mägde, darf schmälen,
Man wählt sich die Kleider,
Nach Gusto den Schneider;
Da läßt man spazieren,
Auf Bälle sich führen,
Und fragt nicht erst lange
Papa und Mama.
