by Georg Büchner (1813 - 1837)

O meine müden Füße, ihr müßt tanzen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O meine müden Füße, ihr müßt tanzen
In bunten Schuhen,
Und möchtet lieber [tief, tief]1
Im Boden ruhen.

O meine heißen Wangen, ihr müßt [glühen]2
[Im wilden]3 Kosen,
Und möchtet lieber [blühen]4
Zwei weiße Rosen.

O meine armen Augen, ihr müßt blitzen
Im Strahl der Kerzen,
Und [lieber schlieft ihr aus im Dunkeln]5
Von euren Schmerzen.
