by (Gustav) Hermann Kletke (1813 - 1886)

Was stiehlst du mit verliebten Blicken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was stiehlst du mit verliebten Blicken 
In's dunkle Zimmer dich hinein? 
O Mond, es will sich gar nicht schicken,
Bedenke nur, sie ist allein! 

O poche nicht auf Freundestreue,
Poch' auf dein altes Anrecht nicht! 
Du bist zu Vieler Freund -- ich scheue, 
Wer mit so Vielen zärtlich spricht. 

Geh' nur, du Heuchler, nimmer müssen 
Mit dir die Mädchen freundlich thun; --
Was seh' ich, ha, du willst sie küssen?
Fort, Bösewicht, und laß sie ruhn!
