Wie lange?
 (Sung text for setting by H. von Herzogenberg)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wissen möcht' ich nur, wie lange
Ich dir spielen könnt' im Haar,
Oder streicheln an der Wange,
Oder sehn ins Augenpaar;
Wissen möcht' ich, ob auf Erden
Noch ein solches Spiel es giebt.
Das man, ohne müde werden,
Treiben kann als wie man will.
