by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)

Ärztlicher Rat
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Was hilft das Schimpfen und das Fluchen,
Sie ziehen sich zu viel zurück!
Sie sollten brav Gesellschaft suchen,
Und Tanz und lärmende Musik.

Hypochondrist:
 Ach! wollt ich nicht schon manche liebe Stunde
 So bei Gesang und Geige mich ergötzen?
 Jedoch da hör ich tief im Hintergrunde
 An einemfort den Tod die Sense wetzen!
