by Georg Büchner (1813 - 1837)

O, meine müden Füsse
 (Sung text for setting by W. Berger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O meine müden Füße, ihr müßt tanzen
In bunten Schuhen,
Und möchtet lieber tief
Im Boden ruhen.

O meine heißen Wangen, ihr müßt glüh'n
In wildem Kosen,
Und möchtet lieber blüh'n
Zwei weiße Rosen.

O meine armen Augen, ihr müßt blitzen
Im Strahl der Kerzen,
Und schlieft im Dunkel lieber aus
Von euren Schmerzen.
