by Otto Hausmann (1837 - 1916)

Am Spinnrad
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Kamine prasselt's lustig,
draußen tobt und heult der Wind,
doch im Stübchen ist's so traulich,
und mein schönes Liebchen spinnt.

Zierlich drehet sie den Faden,
und das Rädchen schnurrt so traut,
und wir haben uns oft beide
still verstohlen angeschaut.

Dunkler wurd' es rings im Stübchen,
emsig spann sie fort und fort,
näher rückt' ich ihr zur Seite,
flüsternd tauschten wir manch Wort.

Und das Rädchen kam ins Stocken,
und wir haben uns geküsst,
und der Faden ist zerrissen;
ach, wenn das die Mutter wüsst'!
