by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)

Komm, falsche Dirne, laß dich küssen!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Komm, falsche [Dirne, laß]1 dich küssen!
So falsch du bist, [doch bist du]2 süß;
Dein Mund hat all an [sich]3 gerissen
Den Honig aus dem Paradies.

Ich herze dich, und sollte hassen;
Ich hasse dich, doch ach, [wie]4 mild!
Ich sollte dich auf ewig lassen,
Und fasse dich, so wild, so wild!

Und ist in alle diese Wonnen
Mein Leben und mein Geist getaucht --
Was mir dein Herz für Qual ersonnen,
Ist alles in den Wind gehaucht!
