by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Wir standen an der Straßeneck
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wir standen an der Straßeneck
Wohl über eine Stunde;
Wir sprachen voller Zärtlichkeit
Von unsrem Seelenbunde.

Wir sagten uns vielhundertmal,
Daß wir einander lieben;
Wir standen an der Straßeneck,
Und sind da stehngeblieben.

Die Göttin der Gelegenheit,
Wie 'n Zöfchen, flink und heiter,
Kam sie vorbei und sah uns stehn,
Und lachend ging sie weiter.
