So muss mein Liebchen sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mässiger Höhe, 
Schlanker Gestalt  --  
Worauf ich sehe, 
Nur nicht zu alt! 
Doch auch nicht gar zu klein, 
So muss mein Liebchen sein.  

Blond oder schwärzlich, 
Das gilt mir gleich  --  
Wenn es nur herzlich, 
recht sanft und weich! 
Hold wie die Engelein 
So muss mein Liebchen sein.  

Augen wie Sterne, 
Freundlich und mild, 
Schau ich so gerne; 
O himmlisch Bild!  
Freundlich wie Sternelein, 
So muss mein Liebchen sein.
