by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729 - 1781)

Stilleben
 (Sung text for setting by H. Gál)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zankst du schon wieder? sprach Hans Lau
Zu seiner lieben Ehefrau.
"Versoffner, unverschämter Mann"--
Geduld, mein Kind, ich zieh mich an --
"Wo nun schon wieder hin?" Zu Weine.
Zank du alleine.

"Du gehst? -- Verdammtes Kaffeehaus!
Ja! blieb er nur die Nacht nicht aus.
Gott! ich soll so verlassen sein? --
Wer pocht? -- Herr Nachbar? -- nur herein!
Mein böser Teufel ist zu Weine:
Wir sind alleine."
