by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)

Auf ein Kind (das mir eine ausgerissene Haarlocke vorwies)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Mein Kind, in welchem Krieg hast du
Die gelben Haare lassen müssen?
Ein Rosenzweig hat sie im Sprunge dir entrissen!
Du weißt es kaum und lachst dazu.
Gott gebe, daß in künftger Zeit
Nie kein Verlust, noch ander Leid
Dich bitterer im jungen Herzen
Als dieser leichte Raub mag schmerzen!
