Nightingale, beware!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Nightingale, beware! Do not sing so beautifully! Alas, your all-too-lovely singing Shall cost you your freedom. Beware! Lovely flower, beware, Do not bloom so glowingly, Do not shed your scent so rapturously! Whoever sees you, wishes to pick you, Beware! Lovely maiden, beware! Do not smile so amicably! Your beauty, your goodness -- Think of the nightingale and blossom. Beware, Beware!
