by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

In welche soll ich mich verlieben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
In welche soll ich mich verlieben,
Da beide liebenswürdig sind?
Ein schönes Weib ist noch die Mutter,
Die Tochter ist ein schönes Kind.

Die weißen, unerfahrnen Glieder,
Sie sind so rührend anzusehn!
Doch reizend sind geniale Augen,
Die unsre Zärtlichkeit verstehn.

Es gleicht mein Herz dem grauen Freunde,
Der zwischen zwei Gebündel Heu
Nachsinnlich grübelt, welch' von beiden
Das allerbeste Futter sei.
