by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Schelmenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich lauscht' dem Fink im grünen Haag,
Das hat mich so [bethört]1.
Ach, hätt' ich auf den lust'gen Schlag
Des Kecken nicht [gehört]2!

Er sang so süß von Lieb' und Glück,
Vom Küssen mir ins Ohr --
Vom Scheiden kam im ganzen Stück
Kein Sterbenswörtchen vor.
