Entführung
Language: German (Deutsch)
O Lady Judith, spröder Schatz, Drückt dich zu fest mein Arm? Je zwei zu Pferd haben schlechten Platz Und Winternacht weht nicht warm. Hart ist der Sitz und knapp und schmal, Und kalt mein Kleid von Erz, Doch kälter und härter als Sattel und Stahl War gegen mich dein Herz. Sechs Nächte lag ich in Sumpf und Moor Und hab' um dich gewacht, Doch weicher, bei Sankt Görg ich's schwor, Schlaf' ich die siebente Nacht!
