by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

O schönes Mädchen du
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O schönes Mädchen du,
Du mit dem schwarzen Haar,
Die du ans Fenster trittst,
Auf dem Balkone stehst!
Und stehst du wohl umsonst?
O stündest du für mich
Und zögst die Klinke los,
Wie glücklich wär ich da!
Wie schnell spräng ich hinauf!
