by Gottfried Keller (1819 - 1890)

Die Lor' sitzt im Garten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Die Lor' sitzt im Garten,
Kehrt den Rücken zumal
Und verbirgt mir der Augen
Himmlischen Strahl.

Ihr goldbrauner Haarwuchs
Weht über den Zaun;
Den Rotmund, das Weisskinn
Doch lässt sie nicht schaun.

Sie lässet erklingen
Ihrer Stimme Getön;
O du boshafte Hexe,
Wie klingt es so schön!
