by Felix Ludwig Julius Dahn (1834 - 1912)

Ach Mädli rein, ich hab' allein auf dich...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ach Mädli rein, ich hab' allein auf dich mein Herz gerichtet: 
Mein Kopf ist dein, mein Herz ist dein und was es denkt und dichtet. 
Ich staune mich gewaltiglich, wie rasch das ist gegangen: 
Ich grüßte dich, du grüßtest mich, -- da war ich schon gefangen. 
Nun bin ich dein, wie ein Mückelein, das in süßen Wein gesunken: 
Nun saug' ich ein die Süße dein, bis daß ich bin ertrunken.
