by Thekla Lingen (1866 - 1931)

Zigeunerliebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bin eine schwarze Rose,
Erblüht in dunkler Nacht,
Die Locken flattern lose -
Gieb acht, mein Lieb, gieb acht!

Mein Herz kennt keine Treue,
Und willst du meine Huld,
Mein Herz kennt keine Reue -
Dein eigen sei die Schuld!

Bin eine schwarze Rose,
Gott hat mich so gemacht,
Die Locken flattern lose -
Gieb acht, mein Lieb, gieb acht!

Confirmed with Thekla Lingen, Am Scheidewege, Zweite und vermehrte Auflage, Schuster & Loeffler, Berlin und Leipzig, 1900, page 15.
