by D. Saul, possibly Daniel Johannes Saul (1854-1903)

Leichtsinniger Rat
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Wo du triffst ein Mündlein hold,
  Das zum Kuß sich ründe,
Frage keinen Tugendbold,
  Ob es etwa Sünde?
Möglich daß es schon geküßt,
  Ja, sogar wahrscheinlich.
Aber auch, wenn ich's wüßt',
  Wär' es mir nicht peinlich,
Bin ich durstig, geh ich frank
  Zu der frischen Quelle,
Forsche nicht, ob gestern trank
  Schon ein Geselle.
