Schlimme Nachbarschaft
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nur selten komm ich aus dem Zimmer, Doch will die Arbeit nicht vom Ort; Geöffnet sind die Bücher immer, Doch keine Seite rück ich fort. Des Nachbars lieblich Flötenspielen Nimmt jetzt mir die Gedanken hin, Und jetzt muß ich hinüberschielen Nach meiner hübschen Nachbarin.

Jag hela dagen hemma sitter och gör ändå ej någonting. I boken jag ej läsa gitter, ty tanken irrar rundt ikring. Min granne på sin flöjt han drillar, och pluggar i mig not för not, men hvad som mig än mer förvillar, är hon som flyttat midt emot.
