by Karl Wilhelm Ramler (1725 - 1798)

Warnung an die Mädchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mädchen, seht den Zephyr streichen,
Dem so viele Männer gleichen,
Seht, er flattert rund umher,
Bald zu dieser bald zu der.

Jetzo buhlt er um die Linde,
Sieht die Tulpe, flieht geschwinde
Zu der Tulpe, die er küßt
Und die schnell vergessen ist.

Bald trägt er sein süß Gewäsche
zu der Pappel, zu der Esche,
Lispelt bald dem Haberrohr
Seine heise Sehnsucht vor.

Seht ihn nun zur Rose fliehen:
Ewig will er für sie glühen,
Bis er um die Binse wirbt
Und im tiefen Sumpe stirbt.
