by (Karl) Ludwig Pfau (1821 - 1894)

Zweifler
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du Kleine bist so lieb und hold
Und schaust mich an so lind,
Daß ich es fast beschwören wollt':
Du bist noch wie ein Kind.

Und doch, und doch - der Kuckuck trau'
Euch Mädchen schlau und fein:
Man sieht dir durch die Augen blau
Nicht bis ins Herz hinein.

Wer weiß, dürft' mir dein Schelmenmund
Erzählen, was er weiß,
Tät' er mir nicht manch Wörtlein kund
Von Küssen lang und heiß.
