by Hermann von Gilm zu Rosenegg (1812 - 1864)

Daß gestern eine Wespe
 (Sung text for setting by A. Schoenberg)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Daß gestern eine Wespe
Dich in den Finger stach,
Sei darob nicht verdrießlich
Und trag es ihr nicht nach.

Die Wespen waren immer
Ein friedliches Geschlecht,
Sie naschen nur gern Süßes
Und darin tun sie recht.

Daß sie für eine Kirsche
Den Mund hat angesehen,
Ist fast ein menschlich Irren
Und kann anch mir geschehn.
