by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)

Komm, falsche Maid
 (Sung text for setting by J. Blumenthal)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Komm, falsche Maid, und laß dich küssen!
So falsch du bist, du bist doch süß;
Dein Mund hat all an sich gerissen
Den Honig aus dem Paradies.

Ich herze dich, und sollte hassen;
Ich hasse dich, doch ach, so mild!
Ich sollte dich auf ewig lassen,
Und fasse dich, so wild, so wild!

Und ist in alle diese Wonnen
Mein Leben und mein Geist getaucht --
Was mir dein Herz für Qual ersonnen,
Ist alles in den Wind gehaucht!
Sometimes titled "Falsch, aber süß"
