by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Meinen schönsten Liebesantrag
Language: German (Deutsch)
Meinen schönsten Liebesantrag Suchst du ängstlich zu verneinen; Frag ich dann: ob das ein Korb sei? Fängst du plötzlich an zu weinen. Selten bet ich, drum erhör mich, Lieber Gott! Hilf dieser Dirne, Trockne ihre süßen Tränen Und erleuchte ihr Gehirne.
