by Fritz Lemmermayer (1857 - 1932)

Es standen zwei Mädchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es standen zwei Mädchen im Dämmerschein
Am rauschenden Morgen der Schlacht.
Das Haar der einen war hell wie das Korn,
Das Haar der andern war Nacht.

Und es sprach die Maid mit dem Rabenhaar
Und mit Augen glühend wie Wein:
„Besiegt der Ritter den Feind, so soll
Mein Herz sein eigen sein."

Und es sprach die Maid mit dem blonden Haar
Und mit Augen verschleiert [vom]1 Leid:
„Ob er gewinnt, ob er verliert,
Sein bin ich in Ewigkeit!"
