by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Ich habe verlacht, bei Tag und bei Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich habe verlacht, bei Tag und bei Nacht,
So Männer wie Frauenzimmer,
Ich habe große Dummheiten gemacht -
Die Klugheit bekam mir noch schlimmer.

Die Magd ward schwanger und gebar -
Wozu das viele Gewimmer?
Wer nie im Leben töricht war,
Ein Weiser war er nimmer.
